Overlooking the City of Peel, stands this tall tower called Corrin’s tower. It was built by Thomas Corrin around 1806 to signify the area that he owned. Today, a graveyard stands right next to the tower, where he and his family members have been buried. The tower is square at the bottom and is four stories high, including a salon with a fire place in the third floor, which is where Corrin used to spend most of his time. Also known as Corrin’s Folly, this tower is in the middle of nowhere, and draws tourists from all over, who are fascinated by this structure and look forward to exploring the interiors.

What was meant to have been a large pavilion was shut down and reopened as a Opera house called the Gaiety theatre. Around the late 1950s, this theatre became a cinema theatre, screening the latest popular releases. It continues to warm the hearts of locals and visitors, with its palatial appearance and grand interiors. Since it is on the sea front, it has easy access from anywhere in the Island.

Many holiday makers visit The Isle Of Man on a family holiday and rent a holiday cottage or holiday home. They use these as holiday accommodation in The Isle Of Man and rent them direct from their holiday home owners.
