Snaefell (Manx: Sniaul) is the highest mountain and the only summit higher than 2000 feet on the Isle of Man. It is said that on a clear day six kingdoms can be seen from the top (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Kingdom of Heaven itself). Some versions add a seventh kingdom, that of Neptune, or the Sea. The Snaefell Mountain Railway runs the four miles from Laxey to the summit. The summit is crowned by a cafe and several communications masts.
