Book Isle of Man ferries for walking festival

Walking enthusiasts may wish to book a Heysham to Isle of Man ferry to attend a festival on the island this summer.

The 2010 Walking Festival will be held from June 13th to 18th and offers walkers a chance to visit some of the most beautiful locations in the UK.

All walks will be conducted with experienced leaders who will be on hand to ensure ramblers stick to their routes and provide information on local Celtic and Viking history and the general landscape.

"Walks can be found throughout the island and are timed to coincide with our public transport including our unique Victorian era steam and electric railways," the Isle of Man Government said in a statement.

"Our walks will take you on a journey to uncover this amazing history throughout the week whilst you will also have plenty of opportunities to sample some of the Island's arts, folklore and cuisine along the way."
