At quick glance, the sea at Blackpool looks like, well, just flat sea with nothing to see! But look closely and on a clear day you can actually see quite a lot, with different views across the sea. You can see some of North Wales, the Lake District and even the Isle of Man (if you’re lucky!).

The Isle of Man is an island located in the middle of the northern Irish Sea, almost equidistant from England to the east, Northern Ireland to the west, and Scotland (closest) to the north; while Wales to the south is almost the distance of the Republic of Ireland to the southwest.

The island has a total of 688 miles (1,107 km) of public roads, all of which are paved. There is no national speed limit – some roads may be driven at any speed which is safe and appropriate.

2. UK residents visiting the Isle of Man will receive free NHS treatment if they become ill whilst in the Isle of Man, apart from statutory charges which Isle of Man residents have to pay, such as prescription charges.

Isle of Man and its Global Business Opportunities The Isle of Man is a well-known tax haven and is a self-governing territory that is part of the British Crown but enjoys separate autonomy and is known for its well-established finance and offshore banking sectors.

Not generally, no. The Manx government has decided to accept the various British currency notes and coins, but it is a one-sided currency union. Manx notes and coins are not legal tender in the UK and a cashier is highly likely to reject the notes.

You do not need to hold a passport to travel within the common travel area (between the Isle of Man and UK/Jersey/Guernsey and Ireland). However, you will need to check with your airline/ferry service you are travelling with to ensure you comply with their policies for photographic ID.
