About the Route
The route starts in Ramsey, which has a good shopping area and pleasant
harbour. This route covers the Northern Plain, which is a flat expanse
of land much in contrast to the rest of the island. Most of the roads
are quiet once outside of Ramsey and there is real beauty to see in
the villages of Bride, Andreas and St Judes.
