History
At 621 metres, Snaefell is the highest point on the Isle of Man. Its name comes from Old Norse for "snow mountain".
The Snaefell Mountain Railway, an electric railway opened in 1895, still climbs to the summit from Laxey. Legend says that from the top you can see seven kingdoms: England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Mann, Heaven and the Sea.
