Day 2 - Snaefell and Laxey
Today takes us to the summit of the island's only mountain,
Snaefell. We begin with a journey along Douglas' promenade,
travelling by historic horse-drawn tram. Next, we board the
island's electric train, which dates back to the Edwardian era, to
the fishing village of Laxey. It's here we board the Snaefell
Mountain Railway - the only electric mountain railway in the
British Isles. The journey takes us all the way to the top, where
the views are stunning. On a clear day you can see England,
Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Back in Laxey, you
have time to explore. The Laxey Wheel, or the 'Lady Isabella' as
she's known locally, is the world's largest working water
wheel.
