“An amazing experience at Great Laxey Mines Railway! Beautiful scenery, a unique historical journey, and a well-maintained railway. The staff are friendly and informative, making the visit even more enjoyable. A must-visit attraction for families and history lovers!”
What a lovely little attraction. Not expensive but loads to read about the Laxey mine History. All the Staff are lovely and couldnt be nicer. A great start to the trip to the Laxey wheel.
A super industrial railway which is a must see when visiting the island. Whatever age, older or young family all will enjoy. Run by friendly helpful volunteers, just ready to chat and talk about the line. Take the short trip up the Laxey valley and you can have a little walk getting a later or take the train stright back if you wish. Extremely human and dog friendly. Ticket office has a small shop with some super souvenirs and gifts alongside the information coach. There's no cafe or toilets on the site but the public loos and cafe are just 5 mins at the tram stop. Currently running steam trains every Saturday over the summer. The carriage is quite small so the infirm might need a little help. Will definitely be coming again. Lots of good information on the website.
A limited service operating on the weekend, check in advance. Run by very enthusiastic friendly volunteers, offering the only train tunnel on the island! You sit in a single carriage (very snug) and go from the little wheel to the start of the walk to the Laxy wheel. Small but worth it. Free to use on the 'go' card
Really cool experience, would definitely recommend stopping by if you are heading to the Great Laxey Wheel.
