The Home of Rest for Old Horses is a small Isle of Man sanctuary that looks after retired working horses, including animals connected with Douglas's horse tram tradition. It is a gentle, slightly eccentric stop, but one with real local character and a clear link to the island's transport history.
Visitors come to meet the horses rather than to tick off a major sight. That makes it especially good for families or anyone who has already ridden, or plans to ride, the Douglas horse trams. The setting outside the centre of Douglas means it works best with a car, taxi or a relaxed half-day plan.
