Description
One of the Island's principle historic centres, this great natural fortress with its imposing curtain wall set majestically at the mouth of Peel Harbour is steeped in Viking heritage. The sandstone walls of Peel Castle enclose an 11th Century church and the Round Tower, the 13th century St German's Cathedral and the later apartments of the Lords of Mann.
