What visitors say
Free roaming village museum, you need to make time to watch the video in the ticket office and listen to the stories of the people working there to fully appreciate what you are visiting. My daughter especially loved taking time to be friend the local cats. She says "The cats are really kind and like to be stroked."

Very tranquil and relaxing site to visit. Entrance is free for English Heritage etc members. Small museum and video of traditional Manx was of life in the ticket office at the centre of the village. Free car park a few minutes walk up the road. There are traditionally dressed guides in many of the buildings who can provide as much information about the village, its residents and Manx traditions as you could ever need. Well worth a visit, even if you don't want to pay you can still mooch around the village, see traditional thatching and take in the stunning views. Small cafe and public toilets on site. Staff are super-friendly.

I was so impressed with this place. I can with no expectations and so much to see in a small area. The guides were brilliant and brought the place to life. The cafe was lovely too and I would recommend the carrot cake and Mocha !!
