Description
A varied island landscape in the Irish Sea.
The Isle of Man has coastline, hills, wooded glens and mountain areas that offer great variety within a relatively compact area. The book shows how you can explore this on foot. Along the way you encounter both nature and historical traces, with the sea and the island’s distinctive landscape forming a clear part of the experience on many of the walks.
Forty walks and several options for combinations.
The selection ranges from short, easily accessible walks to longer days with more elevation gain. Several routes can be linked together if you want a greater challenge. The book also covers longer walking options, allowing you to plan a holiday with different types of walking rather than following the same plan or difficulty level each day.
OS maps and descriptions for your walking plans.
Maps and route information help you choose starting points and follow the connections through the various types of landscape. Practical information makes it easier to assess which walks suit your location. The guide is useful both when planning from home and when choosing the next day’s outing based on the weather forecast and your own preferences during your stay.
For flexible days with time to enjoy the island.
A short walking suggestion and a longer mountain walk require different considerations regarding terrain, weather and fitness. Use the descriptions actively to choose what suits your group. The guide is particularly useful for those who want a broad selection across the island and wish to combine the walks themselves with time at coastal spots, historical sites and other experiences off the beaten track.
A long tradition of guidebooks.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew from climbers and mountain folk who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes—a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
