Snaefell

Snaefell, Mountain Road, IM4 5AF

Snaefell is the Island’s only mountain with a summit higher than 2,000 feet (610 m) at 2,037 feet (620.9 m) above sea level.

From here you can see the six kingdoms: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and of course the Isle of Man, together with the Kingdom of Heaven (seven if you then count the sea, Manannan’s Kingdom).

In 1970, the automated weather station at the Snaefell summit recorded a gust of 150 mph which was one of the highest wind speeds ever recorded in the British Isles.

The Snaefell mountain railway takes you up to a cafe at the top.
