Enjoy the trip up to Druidale, it's very steep (up to 16%), but the views are awesome. The ride from St Johns takes you on the Heritage Trail - it's well levelled gravel. Don't forget to have a kipper bap at the fish bar on the promenade! That's my mandatory pit stop!

A wonderful place to stop for something to eat along our long distance walk around the coast of the Isle of Man in Kirk Michael. Great service, delicious food and drink. We sat outside in the courtyard.
