Peel Attractions
Peel (pop. 3,100), halfway up the west coast of the island at the mouth of the little river Neb, is a picturesque fishing port which claims to produce the best kippers in England.
The red sandstone buildings, memorable sunsets over the Irish Sea, narrow streets, fisherman cottages, sandy beach, and promenade have made Peel a popular seaside destination during the summer months.

Odin's Raven
Odin's Raven in the boathouse at Peel is the replica of a Viking ship found at Oslo in Norway. The ship was brought over to Man in 1979.
St Patrick
Outside the harbor, and linked by acauseway, lies the rocky isle of St Patrick, on which are Peel Castle, a red sandstone structure surrounded by a wall, and the Cathedral, the smallest of all the Anglican ones, dedicated to St Germanus, a disciple of St Patrick. The choir was built in 1226--47, while St Patrick's Chapel probably dates from the 9th C.
