Product Description
Product Description
The Raad ny Foillan path, Way of the Gull, is a 96-mile coastal footpath around the Isle of Man. Splendid scenery is encountered throughout, from the rugged sea cliffs and mountain moorland in the south, to the glens, beaches and dunes of the north. The route passes sites of historical interest, colourful fishing villages, historic towns and peaceful havens. Walkers will appreciate the Isle of Man's unique character, where the pace of life seems easier and there are no coastal caravan sites to sully the scene. You will enjoy the company of gulls and seals. The extraordinary variety of flora is a joy to behold. The walk is described in easy stages with suggestions for accommodation en route. Two other walks are described - The Millennium Way follows the ancient route of the kings from Ramsey to Castletown, whilst the Herring Way takes a traditional way from Peel to Castletown. These cross the hills of the island's interior and can be combined to give an interesting route. This second edition is fully updated. There has been little change to the coastal oath footpath itself since the first edition, except for a short, though significant re-routing of the path to include an impressive stretch of coastline to Nairbyl. The travel information, accommodation, campsite list and service details have also been brought up to date.

Fabulous route, average guide,

This review is from: The Isle of Man Coastal Path: Raad Ny Foillan - The Way of the Gull - The Millenium and Herring Ways (British Long-distance Trails) (Paperback)
Starting with the path itself, The Isle of Man Coastal Path, aka Raad Ny Foillan, aka the Way of the Gull is an absolutely stunning walk. It is fantastically varied, from beach walking, to narrow cliff top paths, to heather covered moorland, to pretty glens, to old railway tracks. Even the least interesting sections (which are to be found on any long distance path), which on the Way of the Gull are a couple of long beach walks are enlivened by the fantastic wildlife.
So, if you are looking for a path of c 100 miles and have a week in which to walk it, this is definitely recommended. I cannot be so unequivocal in my praise of the guide. It's OK, it's not terrible, by and large it does the job. However it has a number of weaknesses which are annoying rather than being major flaws. The author at times mixes up her lefts and rights. In comon with many other guides she is frequently over detailed in the easy sections and then lacks detail where it would be more useful. Also, the distances are inaccurate, as much as two miles out in the estimate for a day. So if you do the walk (and I would certainly choose this one over, say the Cotswold Way) buy the book, but don't overly rely on it.
