Langness Lighthouse and Peninsular

The property is a few minutes drive from the Island's Airport (Ronaldsway) and Castletown, the Ancient Capital of Man (see location map).  It is situated on a narrow peninsular stretching into the Irish Sea.  Delightful coves, arches, pillars, pinnacles and rock pools surround this area of wilderness and outstanding natural beauty.  It is very well known for its wildlife, especially birds and seals, which are often spotted from the Lighthouse harbour and beyond.   A reef called the Skerrances lies concealed here and has claimed many lives, notably the Provider, a schooner which perished in 1853. 

The Langness lighthouse was built in 1880, designed by Thomas Stevenson (son of Robert) dramatically situated overlooking the sea to 3 sides. Its status was changed to Minor light in 1994 and the keepers withdrawn in 1996, however it is an important light still and is maintained by the Northern Lighthouse Board.

Close to Castletown with its shops, restaurants, historic attractions, Steam Train & Bus routes.  The town is built around the medieval Castle Rushen and harbour and is within easy reach of a number of other heritage attractions; The Nautical Museum, Old Grammar School and the Old House of Keys (the Islands former parliament). 

Along the eastern side of the peninsular is situated the Castletown Golf links course providing some of the best links golf anywhere in the British Isles.
