Manx sheep taking a walk
Getting around on foot

The Isle of Man is the perfect place for walking. We have many footpaths to offer visitors, from the long distance Raad ny Foillan (Road of the Gull) coastal footpath and the Island-long Millenium Way, to others including Bayr ny Skeddan (Herring Road) and the old Railway Lines. Shorter paths running through villages, towns and through the country-side.

Raad ny Foillan (The Road of the Gull) is a 100-mile coastal footpath of stunning vistas - one of several long distance trails on the Island.

Bayr ny Skeddan (The Herring Road) is a 14-mile walk between Castletown and Peel, based on the route once used by Manx fishermen.

The Millennium Way, 28 miles long, is an historic King's Highway linking the royal landing place at Ramsey with the ancient seat of government and royal residence at Castle Rushen, Castletown.

The Heritage Trail, 10.5 miles in length, is an easy walk along disused railway lines from the Quarterbridge in Douglas to Peel.
