The reader will perhaps be surprised to learn that the tiny Isle of
Man, midway between the coasts of Lancashire and Northern Ireland,
is one of the richest historic landscapes in Europe. Packed into
its 225 square miles are dramatic stories of Bronze Age conflict,
Viking warriors, Medieval kings, smugglers, maritime and railway
history, wartime airfields and even a pirate radio station. Add to
that the Island's unique motorsport heritage (on two, three and
four wheels), and you have a combination unrivalled anywhere in the
British Isles. Whatever your passion, or whichever historical
period appeals to you, the Isle of Man will have something
fascinating to offer. Packed with illustrations, and using
first-hand accounts to enhance the narrative, this book takes the
reader on a chronological journey through the island's history,
before offering a series of guided tours which pick up the
highlights of each district. From Bronze Age hill forts, to
Medieval castles. From heritage railways, to historic quaysides.
From award-winning museums, to country mansions, the Isle of Man
has it all. Let this book be your guide to historic Britain's
best-kept secret, as you explore a place untouched by the hectic
pace of 21st century life, where heritage is, quite literally, to
be found around every corner.
