Hiking

The Old Norse definition of Snaefell is Snow Mountain and at 2,037 feet (621 m) above sea level, it's the only 'mountain' on the Isle of Man. It is serviced by the Snaefell Mountain Railway and it is possible to get a tram up to the summit of the mountain. On the day we ascended, we walked from Black Hut to the north east and descended to the Millenium Way in the west. There is a local saying that you can see seven kingdoms from the summit of Snaefell - 'Mann, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England, Neptune and Heaven'.
