MAP OF ANCIENT & HISTORIC SITES

Bernadette Weyde has brought together much of the information contained on the first Ordnance Survey maps of the Island (c.1867-1870) and created a single, interactive map. The map includes keeills, chapels, wells, springs, tumuli, mounds, standing stones, crosses, circles, cists, urn sites, burial grounds, camps, forts and more. Farmsteads and named properties are now being added. There are currently over 2,000 sites.

10 Tips When Walking in the Manx Countryside

1. Keep the Countryside beautiful and remove your litter.
2. Leave gates as you find them.
3. Follow signs.
4. Keep dogs on a lead around sheep and cattle.
5. If cattle follow you, don't panic. Stay calm and walk quietly and quickly around the herd.
6. Avoid getting between cows and their calves. Find another way around the herd and rejoin the footpath.
7. Be careful not to damage growing crops - stick to the path.
8. Don't forget to clean up after your dog.
9. Be mindful that much countryside land is private property so always seek landowners' permission if you would like to deviate from a public footpath to view certain sites.
10. Enjoy!

T. E. Brown

It's clad in purple mist my land,

In regal robe it is apparelled,

A crown is set upon its head,

And on its breast a golden band,

Land, ho! land.
