Maughold


After our visit to Maughold, we realized that we missed two of the most important items to see there, so we returned for a quick visit.

The most significant found on the side of the parish cross that now resides inside the church. On one side is a carving of the triskelion that is the symbol the Isle of Man. This is the oldest known such carving in stone on the island.

Maughold Headland and Lighthouse


Outside the Maughold church, we see across the street a field of hay bales framed by mountains and trees. You might think this is about as quintessentially Manx as you can get. But you'd be wrong.
