Set in the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man is a unique destination with over 10,000 years of history. Surprisingly large at over 33 miles long and 13 miles wide, there is more to the Isle of Man than, at first, meets the eye. Venture away from the capital, Douglas, and you’ll find rugged cliffs, sandy coves, miles of uncrowded beaches and enchanting glens.
 

The Isle of Man is a “must do” destination for all driving enthusiasts

There are miles some amazing drives on the Island, with superb, scenic sweeping bends and exciting stretches of tarmac. The famous TT circuit is driveable in either direction, but most will take the traditional TT clockwise direction. The sections, corners and mile markers have evocative names; Bray Hill, Ballacraine, Alpine Cottage, Ramsey Hairpin, The Bungalow, Windy Corner and so on.  ​Where else would you see kerb-stones painted in circuit apex fashion, black and white stripes, in sleepy towns and villages? The road network is extensive and outside of Douglas there is very little congestion and some of the most popular drives include: Druidale,  the route heads up the Ballaugh Glen Road past the campsite towards Ravensdale. Once in Ravensdale, you’ll then need to take the signposted left-hand turn towards Druidale. Port Erin to Peel Coastal Road, The West Baldwin Valley Road, The Tholt-y-Will Road from Sulby Glen to the Bunglalow and last but not least, the Sloc Mountain Road (A36) which you'll have the opportunity to drive on Friday.
