About Isle of Man
The Isle of Man benefits from a mild climate and boasts more than one hundred and sixty kilometres of beautiful coastline, with sweeping sandy beaches and steep rugged cliffs. Inland most of the island is undulating, with a mix of moorland, woodland and heath, rolling uplands and narrow glens with spectacular waterfalls. Snaefell, the high point of the island, reaches 621 metres.
As a Crown Dependency it has its own parliament, Tynwald, which is the oldest continuous parliament in the world. It has many unique features including the Manx language, Manx cats (a rare breed of tailless cat that originated on the island) and its own currency called the Manx pound (Sterling is also accepted). There is plenty on offer to tourists, outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers and many fascinating points of interest, including its capital, Douglas. For many it is known as the motorcycle capital of the world because of its famous TT motorcycle race.
