Hi David

I can't help with the Craines I'm afraid, but I do have some favourite places on the island....

Niarbyl, Glen Maye, Tholt y Will and Sulby Glen are lovely. Snaefell is a must - you may get lucky with a clear day; the view from the top is breathtaking.

I'll be interested to know other's favourites, but I spent many happy hours as a child in those places (especially Niarbyl, in the rock pools!)

Wherever you go, I hope you enjoy your stay - it's a beautiful little island.

Best Wishes

Maggie
