I’ve been visiting the Isle of Man since I was a small child and keep on returning because it is such a magical place. Easily accessible from the Mersey estuary in Liverpool, this small island is only 33 miles (53km) by 13 miles (21km) and has just 70,000 inhabitants. It nestles in the Irish Sea between Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales (all visible from its highest mountain) and is rich in ancient myths and legends. The island has also brought many fascinating insights into my UFO research.

Creation

According to legend, the Isle of Man was left to the charge of a mystical race of Celts, the Tuatha de Dannan.
