Isle of Man - North

Maughold

Kathy says that Maughold is the coldest place on the Island, and it certainly tries to live up to this reputation! Out on a headland, Maughold is the most easterly point on the Island, and it can get quite breezy. It's a good place for a walk to blow away those cobwebs.

Ramsey

	Ramsey is the main town in the north of the Island, home to the Mooragh Park where David spent his time on the annual Sunday School trip.

Tholt-y-Will

The Isle of Man is rich in Glens, this one at Tholt-y-Will is close to the mountain of Snaefell, the Sulby river which flows through it runs north to Sulby and to the sea at Ramsey.

Old Tynwald

The Ancient site of Tynwald was said to be exactly in the centre of the Island, and I think that they made a pretty good effort considering it was over one thousand years ago, though the stones in the picture date from only 1428.

However as time went on half way up a hillside must have seemed an odd place for Tynwald, and it was moved to it's current site at St. Johns

The Ayres

The northernmost tip of the Island is called the Point of Ayre, the flat expanses of scrub ground around it are known as the Ayres.

Quite an exposed spot, which can get fairly breezy, the Ayres are excellent for summer picnics, and winter dog-walking.
