Snaefell, on the Isle of Man

Snaefell Snaefell is the highest mountain of the Isle of Man, and the island's only summit higher than 2,000 feet. Snaefell rises at its summit to 2,034 feet above sea level. The summit is crowned by a train station, café, and several communications masts. The Snaefell Mountain Railway was begun in 1895, and took just seven months to complete. The line runs four miles from the village of Laxey to the very top of the mountain. It is a well-known saying in the Isle of Man that on a clear day six kingdoms can be seen from the top: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Kingdom of Mann and the Kingdom of Heaven. (Read more)
