List of places in the Isle of Man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Wavehunter (talk | contribs) at 20:51, 28 August 2016 (Neighbouring countries: Completeness; alphabetical order). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of places in the Isle of Man. In addition to the Isle of Man itself, the Isle of Man Government administers three small neighbouring islands: the Calf of Man, St Patrick's Isle and St Michael's Isle. There are four places with official status as towns, and four villages, as well as many other smaller settlements. Traditionally the Island is divided into six sheadings, then further into seventeen parishes.

Manx language names are given in italics.

Those marked ‡ (at least) are not large enough to be notable as settlements, but some of them may be notable as tourist destinations.
