Snaefell is the highest mountain on the Isle of Man. It is said that on a clear day six kingdoms can be seen from the top (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Kingdom of Heaven itself). It has an electric powered mountain railway leading the four miles from Laxey to the summit. The summit is crowned by a cafe and several communications masts.
