Route and historyThe {{lang|gv|Raad ny Foillan}} starts and finishes at the Millennium Bridge over Douglas Harbour. The path, which is {{convert|102|mi|km}} in length, forms a complete loop around the Manx coast, waymarked with signs showing a gull on a blue background. The walk was created to mark the Island's "Heritage Year" celebrations in 1986 and generally follows the coast, passing through terrain varying from shingle beaches at the Ayres to over {{convert|1400|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} hills and cliffs. The route comprises the following sections:
Flora and faunaThe coastal sections may provide sightings of seabirds such as kittiwakes, Manx shearwaters, puffins, guillemots and sea gulls together with grey seals, and at points inland the rare Manx Loaghtan sheep on areas protected by Manx National Heritage.[2] See also
