LAXEY
Picturesque Laxey
These photographs should give you some idea of what a delightful place the
Village of
Laxey is. With it's tidal port, river, escarpments and valleys and an annual

Laxey Station Tram
Laxey Station was built in the 1890's and very little has changed since then -
a good thing. Trams run from the station to Ramsey, Douglas and to the top of
Snaefell, the Island's "mountain" (2034 feet - 619.6 metres above sea level),
the latter being particularly popular during the weeks of the TT and Manx Grand
Prix
motorcycle races.
