Isle of Man Viking Highlights and Castles Shore Excursion

5 hours

Moderate

Embark on a half-day tour of the Isle of Man, exploring its Viking history and visiting the Braaid, St. Johns, and Peel Castle. Learn about the island's historical tapestry as you visit the Braddan Old Church and the House of Manannan.

Start your tour at the Braddan Old Church, a site showcasing the Isle’s remarkable collection of intricately carved Viking stone crosses. These artistic relics provide a glimpse into the island’s historical tapestry.

Continue to the Braaid, where echoes of the past resonate within an Iron Age longhouse and two Norse longhouses. These structures are a testament to occupation spanning until the 11th or 12th century. Next, head to St. Johns, home to the Tynwald Hill. Comprising stones from all of the Isle’s 17 ancient parishes, this hill is the backdrop for the Island’s annual

open-air parliamentary gathering, Tynwald. Finally, visit the House of Manannan, where the mythical sea god guides you through the island’s Celtic, Viking, maritime heritage.

        This was a fantastic experience! Beautiful drive, well planned tour, very nice bus. No regrets at all booking this independently instead of through the cruise line. We went the same places the cruise line excursions did and had a much better value!  ... Our tour guide was excellent as well! Highly recommend!
