User / Mary&Neil / Snaefell Summit
Mary&Neil / 2,758 items
The highest point on the IOM is Snaefell at 2,037 feet (620.9 m) above sea level.
It is a well-known saying in the Isle of Man that on a clear day six kingdoms can be seen from the top: the Isle of Man, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Heaven. Although it doesn't look like in this photo we had a clear enough day to see all of them.


It would be nice to say we walked there but the other well known fact about Snaefell is that the summit is crowned by a railway station and cafe.

The Snaefell Mountain Railway has a seasonal electric tram service which climbs the 4 miles (6.4 km) from Laxey to the summit. Fortunately this was part of our electric tram day ticket.

The other thing the photo doesn't show is that it was very cold and I certainly wasn't dressed for it.
