You start this hiking tour on the Isle of Man by arriving in Douglas. There are ferry services from Liverpool and Heysham, or you can fly into Isle of Man airport.

Your hiking today starts out around Scarlett Point and then along Carrick Bay to Port St Mary. Then around Kallow Point to Black Head and Spanish Head from where you can see the Calf of Man. The walking route continues along the cliff tops to Port Erin on the west coast. There are optional inland walks to the Cregneash Folk Village.
