About this book

40 half to full day walks on the coast and fells of the Isle of Man are explored in Cicerone Guides: Walking on the Isle of Man. Most of the walks are short and accessible for walkers of all abilities. For walkers looking for a greater challenge, there are longer adventures and plenty of opportunities to combine routes. Walking on the Isle of Man is a clear demonstration of an island's ability to pack a diverse range of landscapes and walking into a small area. The Isle of Man is no exception, and the routes in Cicerone Guides: Walking on the Isle of Man scale mountains like Snaefell, cross wide open moorlands, drift over beaches and scale coastal clifftops. The assortment provides walkers with fantastic trails, along with detail on the wildlife, wild flowers, unique history and points of interest that the walks encounter. Alongside detailed route descriptions and OS maps, there is plenty of practical information on getting to and around the Manx Isle and advice on making the most out of any exploration of the Isle of Man.

Review of the first edition:

"Cicerone is a local publishing firm based in Milnthorpe and is a leading independent UK publisher of guides to walking, trekking, mountaineering and cycling in Britain, Europe and worldwide. Written by leading specialists, Cicerone guides are widely recognised as the most authoritative in their field. It seems to me that wherever you wish to spend your holiday there is a Cicerone guide available to help you to explore the countryside making your stay much more enjoyable. The Isle of Man Walkers Guide is a typical example of their well-researched, useful guidebooks. Firstly, the size of each book (11.5 cm × 17 cm) will fit easily into an anorak pocket. Then each walk tells us the distance, gives us a detailed coloured map, grid ref for the parking/start/finish, and most important of all – refreshments! Anything of local interest is added wherever appropriate."
– Joyce Wilson, The Keswick Reminder, July 2004
