The Manx Transport Museum in Mill Road, Peel, Isle of Man, lays behind the  House of Mananin Museum and close to the kipper factories. Inside is an Aladdin's Cave of exhibits and memoribilia, including a fully restored Peel P50 car. The museum covers all types of local Manx Transport through the ages and more and there is usually an enthusiast on hand to answer your questions .

The Museum also runs a mobile museum, which has been converted from  a 1970's Manx bus, which has covered 600,000 local miles. No mean feat on an island just 30 miles long and 12 wide. This mobile museum even has room to display the Peel car.

 

It is only a short walk from the museum to see the site of the Peel car factory and old showroom. Also within a short walk is Peel Castle and the harbour with refreshments kiosk, which serves baps generously filled with fresh Peel crabmeat.

The harbour is always full of interest and there is gentle walking to be had along the river glen or a more strenuous walk up Peel Hill for a truly panoramic view of the town.

Or you can stroll down the promenade, where there is another traditional refreshments kiosk, buy a local ice cream and make sand castles on the large beach.  Also discover the  good variety of old traditional pubs, serving a selection of real ales and excellent food for all pockets with live music in the evenings.

Regular buses link Peel with all parts of the Island, with routes via Douglas and Ramsey.

Most facilities in Peel are open from Easter onwards. It is a great place for a holiday. Accomodation and travel details are available from the Isle of Man Tourist Board, who will send you a free brochure covering the whole Island.
