Walking the Isle of Man Coastal Path

Raad ny Foillan - The Way of the Gull;

The Millennium and Herring Ways

Raad ny Foillan, The Way of the Gull, is a 98-mile footpath around the Isle of Man. Splendid scenery is encountered throughout, from the rugged sea cliffs and mountain moorland in the south, to the glens, beaches and dunes of the north. It passes sites of historical interest, colourful fishing villages, historic towns and peaceful havens.

Two other walks are described - the Millennium Way (23 miles) follows the ancient route of the kings from Ramsey to Castletown, while the Herring Way (14 miles) takes a traditional route from Peel to Castletown. These cross the hills of the island's interior and can be combined to give an interesting route.
