Seeing this 165-foot (50-m) sea stack near the Chasms on the southwest coast of the Isle of Man has to be one of my biggest Highlights of the Raad ny Foillan hike along the coastal path of this stunning island. The Sugarloaf was first climbed in 1933 by Dr AW Kelly, one of the island’s pioneering rock climbers — a feat I won't be attempting anytime soon! Many breeds of seabird nest on the cliffs around here. It's a really awesome place.

Hiking

My first major WOW moment on the Raad Ny Foillan path. We were treated to amazing views of the Sugarloaf, with sheer cliffs. I knew the next section of the path was going to be exciting.
