Countryside Heritage Assets

Some of the best scenery in the Isle of Man can be found on the many Manx National Heritage Countryside Assets. From the dry heathlands at the Ayres to the sea bird lined roughened cliffs at the Chasms and the Calf of Man. Long before the Vikings, Christian settlers, or any inhabitation of any kind the natural history of the Isle of Man was present. Over time man has shaped and formed the land on which they live and today on Manx National Heritage sites the wildlife is protected for future generations to enjoy and experience.
