The Steam Heritage Trail is a rail trail and heritage trail that links the east and west coasts of the Isle of Man. The trail links Douglas to Peel. Sections were relaid in 2019 and 2020.[2][3]
In August 2020, the Isle of Man Government, published plans to add a spur from St John's on the heritage trail to Kirk Michael.[4][5] By 2022, this project was in doubt due to budget overruns.[6]
Repairs to the trail have been carried out in 2023.[7][8]
The trail has been the basis of a racing series since 2024.[9][10]
Other rail-trails on the island include a section in Ramsey.[11]
