St Luke's & Injebreck

Join me for a walking tour through the beautiful Manx countryside to see the landscapes that inspired Archibald Knox’s work. These immersive walks offer a sensory experience allowing you to feel and apreciate the essence of Knox’s artistry. Along the way, you’ll gain unique insights into his life and legacy, with plenty of time to pause, take in breathtaking views, and connect deeply with the surroundings much as he did.

Knox watercolour of Colden from the lower slopes of Injebreck Hill

10am – 1pm, 13th September 2025, 22nd February 2026

Start Point: St Luke’s

Price £20, plus optional donation. Book through Manx National Heritage

This walk starts from St Luke’s church, the highest on the island, with spectacular views of West Baldwin valley, and Colden and Carraghan hills. The walk includes a visit to the ancient site of the Manx parliament in the form of a stone circle known as Killabane. The site was believed to have been last used as the site of Tynwald in 1428. We will walk down into the valley between Colden and Carraghan and alongside the reservoir which was created in 1905. The route goes beyond Injebreck reservoir, around a hairpin and uphill to where the view of Colden is much as shown in the Knox watercolour below.
