Reiseverlauf

1. Stopp 1 · 15 Min.

   The Viking & Celtic Christian Heritage Tour, will begin with a visit to Lonan Old Church, dedicated to St. Adamnan, the Abbot of Iona, dating back to the 12th century. This secluded ancient site holds religious significance, showcasing a collection of carved stone crosses from the 7th century, including an impressive 10th century wheel head cross situated in its original position.

2. Stopp 2 · 20 Min.

   Explore this ancient site steeped in mystery where tradition has it as the resting place of the famous Viking Godred Crovan - King Orry. But we will discover that it is a Neolithic place of burial known as a chambered long cairn. Stepping back in time here is truly wonderful experience.

3. Stopp 3 · 30 Min.

   From Laxey, we venture onto Maughold, situated in a stunning area of natural beauty, we can explore a unique blend of Celtic and Viking heritage as we view some remarkable examples of carved stone crosses and explore the remnants of the first monastery on the island dating back to the 6th century.

4. Stopp 4

   As we leave Maughold, on our way west, we will pass through Ramsey with its bustling harbour and Victorian swing bridge; we’ll also encounter miles of sandy beaches and bays now a protected marine nature reserve. Time to stop for refreshments if needed.

5. Stopp 5 · 45 Min.

   Heading westward, we’ll venture to Peel; with its adjacent St. Patrick’s isle said to be one of the most important historic and religious sites in the British isles. Dominated by the sprawling ruins of Peel castle, it is a place steeped in legend and myth. The site, first used more than 7000 years ago, has served as a settlement, a Celtic Monastery, a religious centre and a Viking stronghold and fortress throughout its history. We can wander through the quaint streets with their tiny fishing cottages or take in the fresh sea air along the promenade with an ice cream or around the castle, keeping a look out for the Atlantic grey seals or our resident Bottlenose dolphins, Moonlight and Starlight.

6. Stopp 6 · 20 Min.

   Next, we'll visit Tynwald Hill; Tynwald is believed to have been established by Norse Viking settlers over a thousand years ago making it the oldest continuous parliament in the world. The hill symbolizes the Isle of Man’s independence as a self-governing crown dependency. There's a wealth of history to explore in this area including the Royal Chapel likely built on the site of an ancient Keeill.
