Isle of Man Coastal Path
Way of the Gull (Raad ny Foillan)

Location: Isle of Man

OS Maps: Landranger™ 95

The Raad ny Foillan - Way of the Gull, is a 96 mile footpath around the island. Splendid scenery is encountered throughout, from the rugged sea cliffs and mountain moorland in the south, to the glens, beaches and dunes of the north. It passes sites of historical interest, colourful fishing villages, historic towns and peaceful havens. Walkers will appreciate the Isle of Man's unique character, where the pace of life seems easier and there are no coastal caravan sites to sully the scene. You will enjoy the company of gulls and seals; and the extraordinary variety of flora is a joy to behold.

Douglas to Castletown
Castletown to Port St. Mary

The Isle of Man publish and Outdoor Leisure map in two sheets (north and south) at a scale of 1:25,000 and these are worth obtaining as they provide much more detail than the OS Landranger map.
