Taking the mountain railway from Laxey to Snaefell was one of the highlights of our holiday on the Isle of Man, lovely scenic journey in a wonderful authentic rail carriage. There is a fabulous restaurant and cafe on the top, food was superb and the staff were very efficient and the whole place was spotlessly clean. Views from top were... More

Great views,good food.go and see it for yourself.go on the railway up the mountain.
