The Great Laxey Wheel Mines Trail
The Great Laxey Wheel is the largest surviving working wheel of its kind in the world. Designed by the Victorian engineer, Robert Casement, the wheel was built in 1854 to pump water from the Great Laxey Mines industrial complex. Visitors can climb to the top of the wheel's winding staircase and learn about the lives of the Laxey Miners.
