ISLE OF MAN - Port Cornaa (Purt Cornah)
Thanks to James for another great card from Isle of Man.
"Port Cornaa Beach is a pebble beach within a small cove at the end of a valley that has Gob ny How to one side. If you choose to visit you may well get this beach to yourself. You have a freshwater lagoon just alongside the beach which is fed by the Cornaa river and at high tide this often merges with the sea."

ISLE OF MAN - Peel
Thanks James for my third card from Isle of Man.
"Peel is situated on the west coast of the Isle of Man, on the east side of the mouth of the River Neb. To the north west is St Patrick's Isle, connected to the mainland by a causeway, and to the west across the river is Peel Hill. It is the third largest town on the island after Douglas and Ramsey but the fourth largest settlement, as Onchan has the second largest population but is classified as a village."

ISLE OF MAN - Multiview: Ramsey
Thank you James for a postcard of Ramsey.
"Ramsey is a town in the north of the Isle of Man. It is the second largest town on the island after Douglas. Its population is 7,309 according to the 2006 census (7,322, 2001 census). It has one of the biggest harbours on the island, and has a prominent derelict pier, called the Queen's Pier. It was formerly one of the main points of communication with Scotland. Ramsey has also been a route for several invasions by Vikings and Scots.
Ramsey is also known as 'Royal Ramsey' due to royal visits from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1847 followed by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in 1907."
