Top places to visit

1. 5.0 The Chasms (10 reviews)
   - Natural Phenomenal at the Chasms
   Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 1-2 hours Geologic Formations
   
   
   The Chasms have to be one the Isle of Man's greatest treasures (although slightly dangerous). The landscape is incredible, the blooms of pinks and purples from the heather is bountiful and beautiful and the walking is heart pumping. The Chasms are where crevices have appeared along the cliff side near the folk village at Cregneash creating a patchwork of dramtic geology where there are literal cracks in the earth which appear to have no end when you lokk down into them. However incredible I think it is important to mention that anyone travelling to the Chasms should wear appropriate footwear and not visit in bad or wet & windy weather. See more..

   The Isle of Man suffers from a lack of signage, non more so than this site. Not only are there no signs, we got so many variations in the directions by asking the locals, surprised we got here at all. See more..
