Spring into Spring with a holiday to the Isle of Man

17th March 2009 Print
Spring into Spring with a holiday to the Isle of Man Many travel experts are predicting massive rises in ‘Staycations’, in which British holidaymakers won’t be travelling abroad this year. With the plummeting pound, and expensive euro, Brits are looking closer to home for a holiday destination with a difference. And where better to enjoy the start of Spring than the unique Isle of Man.

At just over an hour's flight from most UK airports or a short ferry trip from Liverpool, Heysham and Dublin, travellers will still feel that they are getting away for a holiday, but without the added expenses or stress that travelling abroad can bring.

With a wealth of year round activities including horse riding, adventure sports, kayaking, golf and quad biking, the Isle of Man has activities to suit all ages, and every type of traveller. Visitors can be kept occupied with exploring the 33 mile Island by bike, whilst others can enjoy a round of golf on one of the Island’s nine golf courses. After a day discovering the Island, enjoy a traditional Manx dinner at one of the Island’s fantastic restaurants such as Tanroagan, where previous diners have included Madonna, Johnny Depp and Ewan McGregor.

Spring visitors will also get the chance to view the Island’s fantastic nature, with over 100 miles of great walking routes on stunning coastal and inland paths currently filled with bright wild daffodils and bluebells in full bloom. For wildlife lovers’, the Island’s seal colonies may also be seen, and visitors can take a leisurely boat trip to view them in their natural habitat.

With so many relaxing activities on your doorstep, and with Mothers Day and Easter coming up, the Isle of Man could be just the destination for a Spring holiday to remember. Go to visitisleofman.com for more information, and details on planning your stay.
