Peel
(Purt ny Hinshey)
The most Manx town on the Isle of Man. Here fishing thrives with a
busy harbour. Loads of places to walk and scenery to enjoy.
Lovely beach side town with many local shops of interest.
Peel sits on the west coast of the island, is the only city on the
Isle of Man, and has the island's cathedral. It is here visitors will find a
variety of interests, including a large ruin castle from 1392. Fishing
has a long history in Peel as it once was the island's main fishing port.
To this day the harbour can be seen filled with boats of the fishing trade.
It is here that Herring is cured to make the famous Manx kippers.
Known as Manx town of the Island, Peel, offers many local shops and
restaurants. There is an old style feel to the place with many narrow
streets and small houses near the coast. There is a pleasant beach and
promenade, which is nicely sheltered by hills and St Patrick's Isle.
In the evening a stunning sunset can be seen, which is why Peel
is also known as the Sunset City.
