20 Surprising Things You May Not Know About the Isle of Man

We’re in the Isle of Man, and today we’re sharing 20 surprising things you may not know about this fascinating island! From vampire myths to Viking legends and a flag with three legs, the Isle of Man is full of quirky facts. We spent the day exploring Douglas and learning as much as we could about the island. We happened to visit during the TT (Tourist Trophy), which is one of the most famous (and dangerous) motorcycle races in the world. And while this video isn’t about the TT itself, you’ll catch a few glimpses of motorcycles traveling at speeds of 200+ mph, along with hearing about the impact it has on the island.
