  • Last I heard, the whole place was up for sale....You can't really criticise under the Trades Description Act, but it really is junk: musty old books, chipped ornaments, scratched records, miscellaneous "novelty" goods. It's publicised as if it's a major attraction. It's well off the beaten path, and I really wouldn't recommend going out of your way.

    At Least Do This: If you must go, wait for a rainy day when little else is attractive. Don't plan on spending an afternoon there, as I did! If on public transport, check bus times.
    Alternative: Go into Ramsey.

     We cycled on the main road between Douglas and Peel, didn't even know about the rail tracks - At least there was hardly any traffic! :)
