The scope for walking on the Isle of Man is considerable. Being an island, and a smallish one at that, many walks touch upon the coastline at some point, and it is probably true to say that on every walk in this book you can see the sea at some stage, ensuring that each of the walks has its own very distinctive flavour.

The guide includes:

forty walks around the Isle of Man
full-colour photographs and OS mapping
introduction on the Isle of Man today and in the past, on the island's flora and fauna, and on walking on the island
information on getting to and around the island
appendix including longer waymarked walks, useful addresses and organisations
bibliography and a glossary of Manx place names and terms.
