Something for everyone at every age

Extending eight miles down the Laxey Valley from Snaefell summit to Laxey harbour wall, the Laxey Valley Heritage trail offers a diverse range of places and activities for all as you explore the wonders and history of our beautiful location.  As you journey through the valley you can enjoy the Snaefell mountain and Great Laxey Mine Railways, Lady Isabella and Lady Evelyn water wheels (Laxey Wheel to its friends) along with the Victorian pleasure garden and hand weaving woollen mill there is much to entertain and learn within the beautiful landscape.  Mountain walks and a day at the beach for a more relaxing experience are also available together with an abundance of local food from the delightful restaurants and beach cafes.
