Old Railway Track at Crosby

Highlight • Cycleway

Normally you can ride straight on but the track was closed for maintenance this day, so we had to ride round.

Crosby to St John's Path

Highlight • Trail

Much better draining surface than near Union Mills

8.00 km

Tynwald Hill

Highlight • Monument

Worth a visit for a look around the home of the Isle Of Man Parliament. This is a manmade 4 tier platform which once a year still hosts open air meeting of the Manx Parliament.

8.83 km

Brack-a-Broom

Highlight • Bridge

Definitely not one for the road bikes. The road surface is rough and muddy and the doors can get deep after rain (use the bridge)

8.99 km

Brack A Broom Lane

Highlight • Trail

Great on a gravel bike. Surface gets pretty rough, so need to be careful on a road bike. There's a ford which you can ride through normally but you'll get wet feet...or you can bypass it on the footbridge

Dovecote Tearooms

Lovely tea room in the village and a good stop at the end of a hiking day there. Really friendly all staff.
