Isle of Man is self-governing British Crown Dependency in Irish sea. It has rich lighthouse traditions, so i would like to share some pictures made during my trip.
On approach to Douglas (central city) you could see Douglas Head lighthouse:

That's not full set, just some of them i had chance to visit during short trip. But anyway this is great place to go for lighthouses hunt.
We are allmost "finished" with scotland, and we are talking about Isle of Man, the next time we go to the UK.
I was thinking that there were only a few lighthouses there but on the Lighthouse Directory site I was counting at least 30 :o
Hopefully we can do that in 8 days.
It's a beautiful place, Jacob, and also very interesting for LH hunters :)
