Book Description
Transport features of the Isle of Man is the collective title for a series of books presenting a photographic record of various modes of transport to, from and in the Isle of Man as recorded by a number of writers living, on the island and seen from an island perspective. This is the first book to be produced in the series and it documents in pictures the twilight years of the operation of the Isle of Man Railway under the original company which had started running in 1873. The author of the book is perhaps best known for his photographs of shipping rather than railways although he has been taking photographs of the island's railways for over 50 years. Here he presents some unusual photographs of the steam railway taken in the late 1950s up to the time that the railway was leased to an independent operator in 1967. The period between then and modern times will be the subject of two further publications in the series.

Book Description
Raad ny Foillan (The Way of the Gull) is a 98 mile footpath around the Isle of Man. The route description is set out as a circuit and split into stages, with the longest walk being 15.5 miles and the shortest being 7 miles. Any fast walkers may wish to complete two stages per day, while those progressing at a more leisurely pace may decide to amble along and take in the splendid attractions along the way. Two further walks described in this guidebook, the 23 mile Millennium Way, which follows the ancient route of the kings, from Ramsey to Castletown, and the 14 mile Herring Way, which takes a more traditional route from Peel to Castletown. Both these routes cross the hills of the island's interior and can be combined to make an interesting longer walk.

Book Description
The Isle of Man, isolated in the Irish Sea, has always had fascinating transport systems, beginning with the steam ships that took passengers across the waves, but this book will focus on the island’s unique railways, which have crossed the beautiful scenery of the island for well over one hundred years. The Isle of Man Railway, operating historic rolling stock powered by steam, has operated continuously for over 140 years. By way of a wide selection of beautiful images taken and collected by the author, this book will evoke memories of the heyday of the railways, from the glorious years of steam to the more modern electric trains.
