Isle of Man
The Isle of Man is a paradise for those with even a slight interest in steam or general industrial machinery.
Most visitors to the Island will visit the Laxey Wheel and stand in awe of its scale. They might travel to Laxey on the Manx Electric Railway, and they might go on to visit the Isle of Man steam Railway, the Snaefell Mountain Railway or any of the other locations on the island.
You can even get away from power driven vehicles by taking a trip along the promenade in Douglas on their horse drawn tram.
Finally, don't miss the Isle of Man Railway Museum.
