Behind the scenes tours at the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway stables will again be taking place in 2017 with the first tours due on the first day of the season \u2013 Saturday 8th April (only just over a week away!).

The tours will be building on the popular tours which were run during 2016 and offer visitors the chance to see behind the scenes of the world\u2019s last remaining 19th century original horse drawn passenger tramway and to learn more about the daily lives of the tramway horses.<\/p>\n
