Creator and Owner

Ber Weyde is the creator and owner of As Manx as the Hills. She was born on the Isle of Man and lives in the south of the Island.

When you message or email, it is Ber you will contact and she will do her best to help you.

Ber has always had a love of Manx history and culture and this is reflected in this website and her other site at Isle of Man Wells.

History

As Manx as the Hills started in 2013 on facebook as a way to share our Manx history and culture.

This website was created to make some of these posts easily accessible and for people to learn about and enjoy our wonderful heritage.

New Shop

In 2024 a shop was added to the site featuring some of our unique 'Manxness'. Ranges will include:

*Manx Family Names * Traditions * Seasonal and Historical Events * Manx Language * Sayings and Proverbs * Home and Place-names etc. *

Product Designs

All designs are personally created by Ber Weyde. They are either copyright to Ber or created under licence.

Product customisation is also offered, see below for further details.
