manxy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 As mentioned previously, Ramsey appears to be the poorer relation to that of Douglas and what they're doing to Douglas looks good from a tourist point of view The improved quay and surrounding area looks quite good, but still lacks facilities like the old Summerland had. Ramsey however, doesn't have enough tourist attractions IMO and yes, they have the park (nice place in the summer), Queens pier (at distance), last stop on the electric railway, Albert Tower, and er.... the lifeboat......and er...... the harbour....... and er......I honestly don't know of anything else touristy apart from the scenic walks. Hopefully others can think of other things that Ramsey has to offer the tourist industry. It seems to me that they're the forgotten town, being third largest to Douglas and then Onchan. They need something else for not only the tourists (if they can afford the fare over - different thread), but also the town, young and old alike. If you don't win the lottery Ramsey, then Noorey vie ort! Ramsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, could get a chain gang out daily to scrub the rail tracks with a toothbrush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
