Ballacregga Corn Mill, close to Laxey Wheel offers a mix of heritage, contemporary art and tea rooms.

The Mines is a little Manx gem close by the Laxey tram station. There is an overwhelming feel of belonging when you enter this pub, like you want to snuggle in for the day and become part of the furniture.

The Mines is highly recommended for a slice of Manx heritage, its quirky traditional feel and homely inviting welcome.
