Lived here in Castletown for the first 20yrs of my life 72yrs old now, so lovely to see the island is still as beautiful as ever, thanks for the memories my friend...
Wonderful video. The beautiful island where I lived in Castletown in the early to mid 1950s. It is on my bucket list to visit again for the first time since 1958. I weep at the very thought of returning.
@@johnbinnie5697 Sorry to be so long to reply. I have only just revisited this page. My family originates from Epsom in Surrey, but my paternal grandparents lived in North London, my grandmother having been born and raised in Birmingham having the surname Hanks. The name is also known in West Sussex and Portsmouth areas. There is also a place called OckendOn in Essex. Ockendens also emigrated to Canada, in the early part of the 20th century, and to Australia and New Zealand.
I'm from Castletown to we left in 78 79 me mum shipped us to Liverpool I haven't been back sinc but during the lockdown I got a real yerningvtp go back xx
Thank you for posting this little gem. Used to visit the island with my parents every easter, hated to ferry crossing but loved the whole, magical place. Always wanted to retire in a wee cottage by the sea with a little car to explore the place again.Bet it hasn't changed since my last visit in 1962. Maybe in my next life.....
Born in Birmingham, UK; third-generation Manx descendant. I now live in Canada but I would willingly leave to live in the land of my grandfather Crellin. I can see why he pined for his homeland after leaving for England. A Celtic jewel in the Irish Sea, with all the scenery and fish a man could want. Love the musical score too; haunting.
My husband and I went there on our honeymoon back in 1977 and we had o lovely time, We haven't been there since but as we are both still healthy we are planning to return. Its such a beautiful place
Haha my birth place Hun Castletown mu mum came to Liverpool for a hol An shipped us lot over 6 weeks later way back in 78 79 during the lock down I had a real yearning to be back on the beach in Castletown my child hood playground xx
Very nice Charles Guard. I was calling them before the reveals. Such a treat. Wish I could come back. Thanks Culture Vannin for the post. Gura mie ayd.
excellent....this is what I was looking for...spent time as a child and teenager in this wonderful place...this captures the Isle perfectly...many thank you's Culture Vannin
Nice to see how many people have enjoyed this video. I call my homeland Paradise. But what happened to the best place on it? Purt ny Hinshey? Just a brief glance at the castle.
The first two minutes are Charles Guard's own composition, but at c.2 minutes it merges into Marlene Hendy's 'The Secret Island'. This is a song from her album 'Fy Yerrey' with Dilys Sowrey (and a beautiful song it is too!)
We're Manx - a nation like the others you've listed, even if with a smaller land! As to Kieran Tierney, he is Manx-born, but he moved to Scotland at 10 months, which has meant that he's qualified to play for Scotland.
Groudle Glen will live in my heart as long as it continues to beat. But, my question, and this may be a false memory. Around 1968/9, someone told me about a place on the island that had been painted by a 'famous artist', it was called, if memory serves, The Seven Fields of Green' and I have the faintest of memories that I actually stood where the scene was painted. I've tried to 'google it' but to no avail, can anyone enlighten me?

Beautiful. If I could be young again, I would want to be Manx.

Where is your surname from?

Yes, in my bucket list already. Visiting for the very first time where The Bee Gees were born. Maybe too a good place to retire.
@@mindareyes7565 I'm considering retiring there!

Have been to the Isle of Man several times, it is beautiful. I love it, so clean and peaceful. Go there. Its great. !!
You've certainly tempted me to go there permanently. Is it horribly cold and wet, though? I do love the sunshine!
Loved every second of that. We have just returned from a 3 week tour of the island in our campervan. Smashing place. 👍
Just beautiful....thanks for uploading.

Loved the tour and now I want to come for a visit.. soon I hope, thank you for sharing
Smoke a bowl and chillax watching this
Damn that makes you proud to be Manx
Beautiful island fond memories of fantastic holidays in late 60s / 70s.
Used to love rambling these hills and plains of my adopted home, hope I get a new knee and galavant again before the rest of me wears out!
Beautiful. It must be nice to live there, a slower pace of life away from the bustling crazy world.
Memories my cousin s work had taken him to the Isle Of Man and met his wife and settled their spent many happy holidays there
Beautiful video of a wonderful Island. Not visited for quite a while but have spent many holidays there.
Amazing place, so inspiring. Hope to get to visit one day 🙏

Well done video. I visited the Isle of Man twice years ago. Good memories of a beautiful, quiet place.
Superb video - visually and auditorily.
Nice video, I'm resident in Douglas but currently abroad. I miss the Island 🏝️
Excellent.
Never hear of this beautiful island until the Coronavirus 😢
Il be there in November. First visit since 1983.
That was beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
…GOD BLESS THE ISLE OF MAN!🇮🇲!
*most beautiful, cleanest, richest and peaceful nation of western europe.*
*#isleofman*
Excellent!
I hope to go one day....
Great video thanks for showing us.
Great filmin and music, Charles. I enjoyed the trip!
Me too.
Cenário esplendoroso!
👏🏼👏🏼🙏
Beautiful
Why didn't they show the Anagh Coar estate and Hazel Crescent? Or the Pondy in Ramsey? Perhaps a tour of the Manor pub in Willaston?
Its what you make of it Philip thats important
So this is where bigclive lives interesting
Beautiful island I wanna in this Island
great video! Can I ask, what is the soundtrack?
The first two minutes are Charles Guard's own composition, but at c.2 minutes it merges into Marlene Hendy's 'The Secret Island'. This is a song from her album 'Fy Yerrey' with Dilys Sowrey (and a beautiful song it is too!)
Castletown and Douglas demonstrate the value of having stringent urban containment boundaries. Same with Laxey and all your settlements actually.
Cenário incrível....🔝
Great video 👍🏻
I want to live in isle of man.
i agry with you .i want to live in isle of man
You would love it Georgina and right now its most probably only one of only a few safest places to be right now.
Does anyone know the title of the music on these videos?
What are the songs named?
Are isle of man peoeple english or Scottish... Or welsh or irish?
No offence intended
Just curious as kieran Tierney represents Scotland in football
We're Manx - a nation like the others you've listed, even if with a smaller land!
As to Kieran Tierney, he is Manx-born, but he moved to Scotland at 10 months, which has meant that he's qualified to play for Scotland.
@@culturevannin8486 thanks for the reply 👍🏽
Manx
I born in Ukraine. But I live on the Isle of Man now. Currently - in Castletown
Cre'n fa? Почему?
My sister lives in Jurby
it would have been better with captions.
For some reason, 10 people don't like this island.
