History
St Patrick's Isle is a islet linked to the city of Peel by a causeway.
Named after St Patrick, because it is believed to be the the first place
St Patrick brought the message of Christianity to the Isle of Man.
The Isle has a long
history which begins with an Iron Age settlement and ends with Peel
Castle. Within the walls of the castle lie many ruins. These include
St Patrick's Church and an Irish like Round Tower, St German Cathedral,
and the more recent residence of Lords of Mann.
The ancient cathedral was left to decay in the 18th century, never to be
rebuilt. The islet is now a tourist site within the castle walls.
There is a public walk around the outside of the castle, which lines
the coastal edge of the islet.
Location
On the west side of the island near the city of Peel.
