Onchan is one of the most iconic villages on the Isle of Man, a British Crown Dependency in the Irish Sea. The third most populous settlement on the Isle of Man, Onchan is located immediately north of the capital city of Douglas and is known for its pleasant seaside setting and rich community life.
Nestled on the east coast of the Isle of Man, Onchamps is characterized by a meandering coastline and rolling hilly landscape. According to the latest figures, there are approximately 9,000 local residents, blending traditional Celtic culture with a modern British flavor. The village retains historic buildings such as the 19th century St. Peter's Church and is well equipped with schools, sports facilities and a commercial center.
Onchan's economy is dominated by tourism, which attracts many visitors each year to experience its golf courses, sailing marina and the famous 'Onchan Farmers' Market'. The area is also a mandatory stop on the Isle of Man TT, a world-class motorcycle race, and the viewing points along the way have become a pilgrimage site for racing enthusiasts. Local specialties include seafood and Manx cheese.
Onchamps is just 10 minutes by bus from the Isle of Man's capital, Douglas, and the island's unique steam train line passes through the area. Visitors can visit the Celtic Cross and War Memorial in the village free of charge, and the best time to travel is from May to September, when you can also take part in the island's traditional festivals.
