The Raad ny Foillan, the Isle of Man’s long-distance coast path, is a circular hike so in fairness you could start it wherever you like along the route! But we started it here, on the Millennium Bridge in Douglas, which seemed like a popular start place according to our guidebook and other's experiences that we'd read online. Raad ny Foillan translates to the Way of the Gull.
