Dating from 1895, Laxey is the starting point for the Snaefell Mountain Railway, a unique Victorian enterprise which winds its way up above 2,000 feet to the top of Snaefell, the Island’s only mountain. On your journey up the mountain and when you arrive at the summit there are spectacular views on a clear day, it’s the only place in the British Isles where you can see the seven kingdoms, (Mann, Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the sea) just be turning around. Events that offer stunning views are also held at the summit, such as the popular Sunset Dinners, Seven kingdoms Sunday Lunch and Pie in the sky, featuring stargazing and supper with the Island's Astronomical experts.
