The Isle of Man as you have never seen it before!

The Isle of Man has one of the world's most fascinating landscapes, shaped by the Ice Age, weathered by time and colured by human history. But much of this beautiful and dramatic scenery is rarely seen to its full advantage and can only be hinted at from ground level.

The recent innovations in the field of drone filming have enabled the qualified pilots at Duke Aerial Productions to explore the Isle of Man like never before - and to get even closer and more intimate to their subjects than ever before. The result is a beautiful and fascinating portrayal of the island, showing facets of the ‘gem of God’s earth’ which are new, even to those who have lived and worked on the land all of their lives.

Filmed throughout with the latest 4K technology available so you can enjoy incredible views of the Isle of Man from the comfort of your own home.

The Isle of Man sits at the heart of the Irish Sea, easily overlooked but of great importance to the many species of birds, mammals and fish that call its hills, glens and seas home.

From the huge basking sharks that feed in the plankton rich waters every summer, to the tiny wrens nestling in the many stone walls that criss-cross the landscape, this small island is a sanctuary for wildlfe

Across the open moorland you might glimpse a hen harrier glide gracefully in search of its prey or see hares resplendent in their white winter coats. In the spring and summer the craggy cliffs become temporary high-rise housing for numerous colonies of seabirds such as guillemots, razorbills and fulmars, while the far wandering Manx shearwaters make use of abandoned burrows to raise their young.

Join local naturalist Chris Sharpe for a year round visit to this beautiful haven.
