History
The site was purchased by the Isle of Man of Government in 1999 and was
developed by Manx National Heritage. The main building has glass walls and
a turf roof. Inside there is a cafe and seating for 40 diners (an
additional 40 seats are located on the outside terrace). Also inside is
an exhibition about the Sound with banners, signs, and an auto/video
presentation. The Sound Visitor Centre was built at a cost of 1.1 million
pounds and opened July 2002.

Travel on the Electric Railway to Douglas and then on the Stream railway to
Port St Mary. Take the no. 1 bus route from Port St Mary to Cregneash from

Visiting the Sound Visitor Centre
Wonderful views of the Calf of Man and some nice walks around the sound. There
are signs posted around the site to look at and nice outside eating areas.
The car park is located right outside the visitor centre, which is very
convenient, especially for disabled access. The complex is rather modern,
but does try to fit in with its surroundings. Views from inside the centre
are excellent, but do not expect much from the exhibition.
