Whether it be walks or circular trails that can take just a few hours or less, to conquering100 miles of coastal footpath or striving to reach the summit of Snaefell (2036 feet), the highest point in the Isle of Man, the Island has it all. In 2007 the Isle of Man is hosting a three-day Autumn Walking Festival being held on the 11th – 14th October.
