Rare opportunity to walk to Tower of Refuge

Douglas Development Partnership and the RNLI have organised an escorted walk to the famous landmark on Saturday, April 7. 

Sir William Hillary, the founder of the life saving institution, proposed the idea of building the tower in the early 1800s to aid shipwrecked crews and their passengers. 

Members of the RNLI will be on hand on the day to talk about the landmark and to raise money for the cause. 

The event is open to everyone and, subject to tide conditions, is expected to start at 5.45pm.
