Isle of Man Guide
The Isle of Man lies in the Irish Sea,
between England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales, less than 60 miles west of the
Lancashire coastline, and it is easy to
travel to with the ferry service from the
Isle of Man Steam Packet Company.
The Island is a unique self-governing
kingdom - a Crown dependency which belongs
to neither the UK nor the European Union. It
has its own parliament (called Tynwald),
laws, traditions, culture, cuisine and
postage stamps.
Travel in the Isle of Man
The best way to reach the Isle of Man is by
ferry; ferry services operated by the Isle
of Man Steam Packet Company connect the Isle
of Man to England, the Republic of Ireland
and Northern Ireland.
Getting around the island is fairly easy,
there are many public buses and a steam
railway line. Alternatively, you can travel
around the island by car. The island's towns
are well-connected by road; many of the
roads on the Isle of Man have no compulsory
speed limit.
