There is plenty of things to see and do while staying at the Ramsey Park Hotel. 

The end of May marks the beginning of the famous Isle of Man TT race which passes through Ramsey. The hotel sits just a short walk from the course.

If you fancy an autumn ramble, the Sky Hill trail is just West of Ramsey and offers beautiful views once you arrive at the summit.

We recommend taking a trip across the island on the Manx Electric Railway too, it’s the best way of seeing all the island has to offer.

ISLE OF MAN TT RACE
The legendary Isle of Man TT races, which are held in June and the Manx GP which is held in August, always attract thousands of visitors each year to see the fast-paced racers around the Island. The 37¾ mile circuit passes through Ramsey before the infamous mountain section which has seen so many races won or lost over the past 100 years.

RAMSEY GOLF COURSE
Nigel Mansell was the ex-club champion at Ramsey Golf Club, which boasts an enjoyable, although somewhat demanding course. The northern Island course is not too hilly and so makes a good day’s golfing. The first six and last two holes are over flat ground divided by a brook, while the remaining 10 are set in wooded parkland with a hilly backdrop. The first hole, a par five, presents a real challenge, playing into the prevailing wind with a stream on the left and across the fairway on the right. The third green looks deceptively easy… but is really very tricky. An interesting course close to town, established around 1891, with some spectacular views and a range of amenities.

SKY HILL / MILLENNIUM WAY TRAIL
The first long-distance footpath, was established in 1979 to celebrate the Millennium year of the Manx Parliament, Tynwald. The path links Ramsey to Castletown, following the way of past Manx Kings through the centre of the island. The route was once known as the Royal Way and is recorded in the 13th Century Chronicles of the Kings of Mann and the Isles. It is known as an early highway with a long and old history.

THE GROVE MUSEUM
The Grove Museum of Victorian Life tells the story of the Gibb family and their Victorian summer retreat, which later became their permanent residence and family home. Beautifully preserved to provide an intriguing insight into life in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a visit to the house, outbuildings and country garden is like stepping back in time.

MANX ELECTRIC RAILWAY
The Manx Electric Railway started out as public transport mainly for tourists but also saw its lines used for the transportation of goods and animals. It became a part of island transport which managed to stand the tests of time and progress.

Dog Friendly
Ramsey Park Hotel is located perfectly for dogs and their owners. Sat right on the coastline with views over Mooragh Lake and the coast of the isle – it’s just 350m from the Irish Sea so plenty of walking opportunities for pooches to stretch their legs. Douglas, the capital of the Isle of Man, is just a 25-minute drive away with sandy beaches, high street shops, and a variety of cafes and restaurants. The hotel also provides a doggy breakfast for them in the morning.
