Exploring the Isle of Man (111L)The Isle of Man in the Irish Sea has unusual attractions, including a working farm cottage that takes paying guests and a place to try fencing.
Other high points of the trip include a pint and a bit of history at a traditional pub and a trip to the tiny town of Derby for a treasure hunt like no other at Jurby Junk.
