Port Lewaigue - The Resort that Never Was

Port Lewaigue is located a mile or so south or Ramsey on the Isle of Man.

It is the site of a failed late Victorian business venture to develop a holiday resort. A Ramsey architect George Kay drew up plans for the resort which would have included a Hotel, bathing pool etc.

Unfortunately the scheme as with other developments on the Isle of Man fell victim to the collapse of Dumbell’s Bank early in 1900.

The principal feature is an abandoned late Victorian promenade which was constructed around 1900. It looks completely out of context without any of the supporting infrastructure which one would expect to see at a seaside resort. In recent years work has been undertaken to clear much undergrowth.
