Places to see in ( Port Erin - UK )
Port Erin is a seaside village in the south of the Isle of Man. The name means either iron port or Lord's port. The Lord may possibly refer to the parish of the Holy Trinity (Kirk Christ Rushen). Another possibility is that the name is derived from sheear, westerly. The outer breakwater, visible at low tide only, was an abandoned project constructed in 1863 using the Port Erin Breakwater Railway and saw the first steam locomotive used on the island; a severe storm of 1884 later destroyed the breakwater and it was never rebuilt. Today, a marker buoy shows the extent of the breakwater, and the landward end is still clearly discernible. To the north-east, by the A7 road, are the earthwork remains of a motte and bailey castle known as Cronk Howe Mooar, possibly the site of a timber fortification built by Magnus Barelegs [Barefoot] c. 1100.
The steam railway station forms the western terminus of the Isle of Man Railway and sits in the centre of the village. The station has been described as the most beautiful building in town and is constructed of distinctive red Ruabon brick in an unusual design specifically to fit into its diagonal location between the platforms and the nearby road.
Bus services operate directly through a depot in Bridson Street in the village to the island's capital Douglas via Port St Mary, Colby, Castletown and Ballasalla using route numbers 1, 2, 11 and 12; these run about every twenty minutes at weekdays and Saturdays, with a less frequent service at weekends and after 6.00pm. Some of these services (1c and 11b) use an alternative coastal route. The route is the island's busiest, partly because it calls at the island's airport. A late evening service also operates on Friday and Saturday evenings, called the Night Owl (Hullaid Oie), which charges higher fares. There are also occasional buses to Peel (Service No. 8) via Foxdale; all these buses are within the island's transport network Bus Vannin, a government-run service which replaced the railway-operated Isle Of Man Road Services in 1976, itself a subsidiary of the railway.
There is a coach storage car park to the rear of the railway station, formerly occupied by Tours (Isle Of Man) Limited, though more often used by visiting coaches in recent times. A number of private taxi services operate from the village into the later hours, though other Douglas-based hackneys will serve the south on demand.
Fish Hatchery a building in the outer harbour close to the wrecked breakwater, this was home to a University of Liverpool Marine Biology department which closed in 2006. Milner's Tower the distinctive keyhole-shaped building that stands on top of Bradda Head, a memorial to a local locksmith, only reachable by foot. It features on the crest and coat of arms for the village
Railway Museum in the centre of the village and housed in the former omnibus garage of Isle of Man Road Services; open seasonally whenever the railway is in operation and accessible via the main road. Museum Building located within the building originally constructed as a cinema but more latterly used as office space and retail accommodation. Erin Arts Centre located in a converted church on Victoria Square the building is host to annual musical competitions and other events on a regular basis, one of several small centres for the arts on the island
Railway Station in the centre of the village and constructed of distinctive red Ruabon brick, the station is open seasonally; winner of an Ian Allen Heritage Award in 1991. Herdman House now a private residence but built as the village's public library and gaming room, it at one time included a billiard hall and extensive library section before conversion to its present use
Collinson's Cafe an unusual building which is currently empty with several unique architectural features including a rotunda and large sprung dance floor from its time as a dance hall; it can be found above the promenade on the road leading to the golf course
Lifeboat Station this can be found beyond the harbour on the road from the promenade; extended in recent years it retains its slipway and deco architectural style and is open to the public when manned. Police Station the Police Station closed in 2014, and is no longer manned. The closest manned Police Station in the south of the island is in Castletown. A public desk is located here.

A newly formed organisation with the objective of reopening the railway line between Radstock and Frome.
One objective is to set up a base within area 3 of the railway land in Radstock, areas 1 and 2 destined for redevelopment. We aim to reinstate a passenger service along the route, as well as keeping the current cycle-path running alongside. A new station and signal box is due to built here, with the hope if permitted to see the engine shed redeveloped to accommodate a family restaurant, railway museum and a section reserved for storing and maintaining rolling stock. A secure cycle shed on-site will allow passing cyclists to stop for snacks and refreshments

As of October 2018 there are nominally four locomotives in traffic: No.8 Fenella, No.12 Hutchinson, No.13 Kissack and No.15 Caledonia. In addition, No.11 Maitland is undergoing a long-term rebuild, whilst No.4 Loch and No.10 G. H. Wood are both undergoing overhaul. The Isle of Man Railway Museum is home to No.6 Peveril of 1875 and No.16 Mannin of 1926, with other locomotives at various locations. Only No.2 Derby has been lost, with only the frames of No.7 Tynwald in existence, privately owned off-island. The railway also possesses two diesel locomotives: No.17 Viking which was withdrawn in 2010 and No.21 Vignoles, a diesel electric locomotive delivered in December 2013. A number of smaller shunting locomotives and people carriers for departmental use also exist...

Port Erin - Isle of Man by Drone
Drone Footage of Port Erin - Isle of Man.
The aim is to show there is far more to this island than the TT Races, I love to explore using my Drone and my Motorcycles. My Drone footage even shows me places to re-visit when I view them on the computer screen. Buildings, Valleys, Rivers, Streams, Caves, rock faces that I simply would not know existed until I review this footage. My aim is for you the viewer to also watch these videos and see places that spark that lightbulb moment, they even may make you want to buy a drone and fly the same locations and get closer to those places that I have not yet returned to.

History
Port Erin seafront
The name means either iron port or lord's port. The outer breakwater, visible at low tide only, was an abandoned project constructed in 1863 using the Port Erin Breakwater Railway and saw the first steam locomotive used on the island; a severe storm of 1884 later destroyed the breakwater and it was never rebuilt. Today, a marker buoy shows the extent of the breakwater and the land end is still clearly discernible. To the north-east, by the A7 road, are the earthwork remains of a motte and bailey castle known as Cronk Howe Mooar, possibly the site of a timber fortification built by Magnus Barelegs [Barefoot] c1100.
Geography
The beach is sandy and is bounded by two headlands which (on windy days) funnel the prevailing westerly wind towards the village. On sunny days, the bay acts as a suntrap. One, Bradda Head, has a memorial tower called Milner's Tower. The promenade, which is somewhat higher than the seafront, primarily consists of hotels - mostly built in the Victorian era, although due to changes in taste among tourists, many of these are being converted into flats and apartments. The town is famed for its views including spectacular sunsets over Port Erin Bay and Bradda Head as well as frequent glimpses of the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland in the distance.
Films
The 2006 film Stormbreaker (starring Ewan McGregor) was filmed on Port Erin beach; the town has also been used by various production companies including the BBC whose serialised drama The Ginger Tree was filmed at the railway station in 1989, and the cinematic adaptation of Five Children & It. An episode of the BBC documentary marking 20 years since the end of steam trains in the U.K. The Train Now Departing filmed extensive scenes in and around the station, interviewing the station master in the process. The village has also featured in the holiday series Wish You Were Here...? and Holiday '91 with Judith Chalmers.

Available on DVD from:
Opened in 1874, the line we know today as The Isle of Man Steam Railway runs from Douglas to Castletown and Port Erin - a distance of just over 15 miles. Passing through the scenic Manx countryside, with coastal views and in the shadow of distant hills, this railway has survived many challenges and today, following huge investment and renewal, is a must-do part of any visit to the island. With beautifully restored 120 year old locomotives, coaches and stations, this 3ft gauge railway is on of the best of its kind anywhere in the world.
This official souvenir DVD, produced with full assistance of Isle of Man Railways, looks at the system in detail including:
• A brief history
• A journey along the line today, looking at all stations
• A visit to the workshops at Douglas and Port Erin Museum
• Morning start at Douglas including 'lighting up' the loco
• Filmed from the lineside, the footplate and a special on-board driver's eye view camera
• Includes all operational locomotives today
Bonus footage: A ride on the Dining Train. Given full access, we join an evening dining train. In the kitchen car with the chef, the food is prepared and drinks are served. A good time is had by all!
