There are plenty of walks from the campsite, to the beach, around the headland, to the main village, the Laxey Glen and to the famous Laxey Wheel.
The Manx Electric Railway operates a year-round service along the coast through the whole of Garff from its terminus at Derby Castle, in Douglas to Ramsey. Stop off in Laxey for a detour, also by tram, to the top of Snaefell.
The Great Laxey Wheel or Lady Isabella (as she is also known) is the largest working waterwheel in the world. A brilliant example of Victorian engineering she was built in 1854 to pump water from the Laxey mines. Today a climb to the top is rewarded with panoramic views across the Laxey Valley. The wheel is a fascinating day out for visitors and is open from spring to Autumn.
There is a play area nearby and within a few minutes down a wooden walkway or via the path by the waterfall there is a tennis court, BMX area and general recreation facilities.
