The Triskelion Way is a 36- mile trail – the Isle of Man’s only pilgrimage route
5 Nights, 4 Walk Days
2 x Half Days for sightseeing/optional activities
Overview
The Triskelion Way is a 36- mile trail – the Isle of Man’s only pilgrimage route - extending from Rushen Abbey in the south to Maughold in the north east, the site of an extensive 9th century monastery. The route wends its way via Peel and its Cathedral, through glorious countryside, open moorland and the spectacular coastline, with historically significant landmarks along the route. You’ll discover holy sites, dramatic waterfalls, carved stone crosses and many examples of ‘keeills’, semi-ruined chapels that are unique to the Isle of Man.
The Triskelion Way is a cracking autumn walking trail, featuring a fascinating mix of history, folk law and, of course, some unforgettable Island views!
What is a Triskelion?
A triskelion or triskeles is an ancient motif consisting of a triple spiral exhibiting rotational symmetry. The spiral design can be based on either interlocking spirals or, in the case of the Isle of Man, representing three bent human legs. It is these famous three legs which are depicted in the Island’s national flag.
