Snaefell

Travel on the Snaefell Mountain Railway and the Manx Electric Railway to get to our destinations, travel back to the more civilised time of the Victorian Era as you travel in our completely authentic trams that are lovingly maintained and operated by paid experts and volunteers.

As we travel hear the stories of how the railway played its part in both setting off an economic disaster and how it transported millions in what was the absolute peak of Victorian era technology. For each person travelling there is an 18 GBP fee for a return ticket from Douglas to Laxey to Snaefell and then the return journey from Snaefell-Laxey-Douglas.
