Experience the Isle of Man Coastal Path, Raad ny Foillan – The Way of the Gull, a 98-mile (158km) footpath that traces the entire coastline of the Isle of Man. This spectacular long-distance trail reveals a landscape of dramatic sea cliffs, sweeping beaches, wild dunes, and the rugged mountain moorlands of the island’s interior.
Ideal for walkers of all abilities, the Isle of Man Coastal Path can be completed comfortably in a week or enjoyed at a more leisurely pace, and the comprehensive Cicerone guidebook divides the circular route into 9 flexible daily stages.
For those seeking further adventure, the island also offers the 23-mile (37km) Millennium Way, following the ancient route of Manx kings from Ramsey to Castletown, and the 14-mile (22km) Herring Way, which links Peel to Castletown via the hills of the interior. These trails can be combined for a variety of routes, from gentle day walks to challenging multi-day expeditions.
- Step-by-step descriptions, sketch maps, and comprehensive planning information help make the most of your journey.
- Traverse a rich variety of scenery, from the rugged cliffs and moorlands of the south, to the tranquil glens, beaches, and dunes of the north. The route passes through nature reserves, along disused railways, and past scenes steeped in history and folklore.
- Explore picturesque centres including Douglas, Ramsey, Castletown, Port Erin, Peel, and Kirk Michael, with information on accommodation, public transport, tide times, local services, and places of interest highlighted to enhance your walk.
- The best times to tackle the Isle of Man Coastal Path are in May and June, when sunshine is plentiful, and rainfall is low, while the holiday season ensures facilities are open, but the trails remain peaceful even at the height of summer.
- A glossary of Manx terms, insights into local geology and history, and a useful bibliography are included to enrich your understanding and enjoyment of the Isle of Man.
Plan your Isle of Man Coastal Path adventure with confidence and immerse yourself in the island’s wild beauty, rich heritage, and unique culture, guided every step of the way by the definitive Cicerone guidebook.

About the Author
Aileen Evans, now retired after a career in teaching and book production, has enjoyed a lifelong love of the outdoors. She has climbed, walked, skied and camped in many parts of Europe and North America and considers the Isle of Man a favourite which continually draws her to return.
She prefers to linger on a walk, allowing time to appreciate views, to enjoy flowers and wildlife, and delve into things of historical interest.
Aileen has always enjoyed adventure sports and sampled most, including pot-holing, wild-water canoeing and alpine mountaineering. She still particularly enjoys rock climbing and exploring new places, often on her mountain bike, away from mainstream tourist areas.
Some of Aileen's more memorable tours include cross- country ski-backpacking in France, walking across the remote interior of Iceland and a trek to Iceland's North Cape, and completing the Tour of Mont Blanc and the Alpine Pass Route.
At home in Lancashire, with her husband, Brian, and collie, Jess, she enjoys her garden, particularly the visiting birds.
