Walks feature in new interactive guide

Saturday, 14 December 2013 at 00:00

The Royal Geographical Society has featured the Isle of Man in its series of popular online interactive walking guides.

Two walks have been added to the guide - both showcasing the Island’s landscapes and identity.

One of walks is a three and a half mile circuit in Glen Cornaa and the other is a two mile circuit of Castletown.

It’s hoped the Island’s inclusion could translate to more tourists heading here for walking holidays.

Dr Jenny Lunn works for the society - she says the guide is geared toward making the walker think more about the landscape and how it was formed:
