Queen's Pier Road carries the course out of Ramsey at just above sea level (about 24 feet/7.3 metres), before it joins May Hill, where the road begins climbing again on its way towards Cruickshank's Corner. It marks the low point of the course's brief run through the town before the long climb back up towards the Mountain section resumes.

A 683-metre (2,241 ft) iron pier built for the Isle of Man Harbour Board between 1882 and 1886, designed by Sir John Coode and constructed by Head Wrightson of Stockton-on-Tees at a cost of GBP40,752. Officially opened on 22 July 1886, it served as a landing stage allowing Steam Packet ships to embark and disembark passengers at low tide. Sources disagree on when regular use ended: most accounts (Wikipedia included) give 1990 as the closure date, but the Isle of Man Government's own harbours page states the pier 'was last used in 1970' - this discrepancy is unresolved and worth checking before publishing a specific date. The pier has been under phased restoration since 2016, with the first sections reopened to the public in 2021.

The Queens is a public house on Queen's Promenade, Douglas, one of the few pubs still trading directly on the town's seafront promenades, with views across Douglas Bay to the ferries and the horse trams that run along the promenade. It is listed as one of the Isle of Man's Registered Buildings. No verified construction date, architect, or earlier history for the building could be confirmed.

Queen's Pier was built for the Isle of Man Harbour Board to a design by Sir John Coode, who later became president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, and was constructed by Head Wrightson of Stockton-on-Tees for around £40,752. Work began in 1882 and the pier was formally opened on 22 July 1886 by Rowley Hill, Bishop of Sodor and Man, though it had already been in use for about a year while finishing touches were completed. It was built as a landing stage so Steam Packet vessels could load and unload passengers at low tide, and a narrow-gauge tramway once ran its length to move building materials and, later, visitors. Steamers stopped calling in the late 1960s, the tramway closed in 1981, and repeated vandalism forced the pier's closure to the public in the early 1990s. In July 2021 part of the Victorian structure reopened for the first time in more than three decades, restored through donation-funded work led by the Queen's Pier Restoration Trust.

This railway bridge on Church Hill, Laxey, is registered as a viaduct built in 1892 for the Manx Electric Railway, which runs along the coast between Douglas and Ramsey via Laxey. No further verifiable detail specific to this structure could be confirmed online beyond its register listing.

The railway station on Main Road, Santon, is an intermediate stop on the Isle of Man Steam Railway's southern line, sitting between Port Soderick and Ballasalla. It is notable among the line's surviving stations for remaining in substantially original condition, giving visitors a good sense of how a small rural Manx halt looked in the Victorian era of the railway.

Castletown railway station, on Victoria Road, opened on 1 August 1874 as part of the Isle of Man Railway's narrow-gauge line linking Douglas with the south of the Island. Its Victorian buildings were extended over time, with a canopy and veranda added in 1901, the goods shed rebuilt in 1902, and a livestock platform added in 1910. The line closed in 1965-66 before reopening for seasonal heritage running from 1967, and the station itself was restored in 1994; today it is the busiest of the railway's intermediate stops, serving as the gateway to several of the south's visitor attractions.

Harbour town on the northeast coast of the Isle of Man, within the parish of Maughold. Ramsey stands at the southern side of Ramsey Bay where the northern plain meets the sea. Its harbour served the fishing and agricultural districts of Maughold, Lezayre, Andreas, Bride and the surrounding countryside. The dependence of the district on the sea is clear in a petition concerning Cornaa in 1791. The petitioners described agriculture and the herring fishery as the principal support of the parish and complained that the lack of a secure landing place at Cornaa forced boats to run for Ramsey, often at considerable danger and expense. Limestone brought round from Castletown for improving the land was subject to the same problem. Ramsey was therefore both a working harbour and a place of refuge for vessels unable to use smaller creeks on the northeast coast. Robertson's list of appointed ports and creeks placed Ramsey alongside Lanemoore, Port Cranstail and Port League. The herring fishery brought boats and seasonal employment into the town, while the agricultural country behind it supplied grain, cattle and other produce. Roads from Ramsey ran south towards Maughold and Laxey, west through Lezayre and north across the plain. The growing settlement had its own chapel, distinct from the ancient parish church at Maughold. Parish figures printed by Robertson separately listed Ramsey Chapel, reflecting the growth of the town within the older ecclesiastical parish. Fairs were also held at Ramsey. An eighteenth-century list records two in November and another in December, although the same writer cautioned that while some Manx fairs were well attended, others had become almost neglected.

The Ramsey Hairpin, at about 24.54 miles, is a tight hairpin bend at Ballacowle Glen on the outskirts of Ramsey. It marks the point where riders turn back onto the long climb up the Mountain section towards the Gooseneck and beyond.

The Ramsey Town War Memorial, now set within the Memorial Gardens by the Court House on Parliament Street, was unveiled on 30 September 1920 by Major General Sir William Fry and dedicated by the Lord Bishop, J.D. Thompson. Designed by architect P.M.C. Kermode and built by T.H. Royston, it takes the form of a red Dorset sandstone column topped by a Celtic cross, ringed by slate plaques naming the fallen; a further set of names from the Second World War was added and unveiled in 1951. It was formally added to the Isle of Man's protected buildings register in 2021.

The Range Front, or leading, light on Shore Road is one of a pair of lighthouses at Port Erin used together to guide vessels into the harbour on a fixed bearing. It is operated by the Isle of Man Harbours authority, stands around 11 metres tall with a focal height of about 10 metres, and its light has a range of roughly 5 nautical miles. A construction date and architect for the structure were not found in available sources.

Ravenscliffe (Raven's Cliff) on Fort Anne Road was built in 1849 and is regarded as one of the original ten grand mansion houses built in Douglas during the town's Victorian expansion. It occupies an elevated, cliff-top position enclosed by high stone walls, with sweeping views over Douglas Bay, the harbour entrance and the Tower of Refuge. The house later gained a further claim to fame as a filming location for the 2011 feature film Albatross, starring Felicity Jones, Julia Ormond and Jessica Brown Findlay, in which it appeared as 'The Cliff House.'

This is a registered building named Ravenscourt on Peel Road, Douglas. No further verifiable historical detail specific to this property could be found beyond its status as a registered building.

Rechabite Hall on Allan Street, Douglas, was built as a hall for the Independent Order of Rechabites, a temperance friendly society, and today houses Gloryland Preschool Nursery. It appears in the Isle of Man Government's registered buildings documentation, but no further verifiable detail about its construction date or original architecture was found.

The Red House on Victoria Road, Douglas, was built in 1893 as the family home of the architect and designer Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, one of the leading figures of the Arts and Crafts movement, who spent twelve formative years living and working on the Isle of Man. He had earlier set up his own architectural practice at 23 Athol Street in Douglas before designing this house for himself and his family. It stands among a wider body of Baillie Scott work on the Island, which also includes the Groudle Glen Hotel, the model farm at Bishopscourt, and other Douglas houses such as Ivydene and Oakleigh.

The Reverend James Wilks, Rector of Ballaugh and Vicar-General, translator on the eighteenth-century Manx Bible project, was buried in the churchyard of the parish where he had served as rector, per Feltham's Tour, aged fifty-eight. His own Omeka item establishes his rectory as Ballaugh; the specific churchyard is inferred from that, not named outright in the same sentence.

Manx: "Holly Ridge".

Ridgeway House stands on Ridgeway Street in central Douglas, close to the town's civic buildings. A datestone recorded on the building gives 1895 as its construction year, placing it in the same late-Victorian building boom that produced neighbouring Douglas Town Hall. It is listed on the Isle of Man's Registered Buildings register and today is used as offices.

Riverside Cottage sits on Bridge Lane in Ramsey, close to the river the lane is named for. Beyond confirming its address and Registered Building status, no verifiable historical detail about the cottage itself was found online.

Historic estate and coastal plain beside Derbyhaven and Castletown Bay, now occupied in part by the Isle of Man Airport. Ronaldsway appears in older sources as Rainsway, Ronaldsway, Rognvald's Vagr, Rognalwath, Rannesway and Ramsway. One nineteenth-century note identified the name with Reginald's Bay and described the anchorage as formerly the most important harbour on the Island because of its proximity to Castletown. The surrounding ground was the scene of several medieval conflicts. In 1250 John Dugal-son, who had declared himself King of the Isles, was defeated there by the Manx. On 8 October 1270 a Scottish force under John Comyn and Alexander Stewart landed at Derbyhaven. The Manx resisted them on the field of Ronaldsway and were defeated with the loss of their leader Ivar and, according to the traditional account, 686 of their chief men. In 1316 Richard de Mandeville landed at Ronaldsway with Irish followers. They advanced towards South Barrule, defeated the Manx and spent about a month plundering the Island before returning to their ships with their booty. The bay was also the scene of an attempted attack on James Stanley, seventh Earl of Derby, in 1650. As he returned in a boat from visiting a Parliamentary vessel, a piece of ordnance loaded with shot was fired at him. Colonel Snaid, Colonel Richard Weston and Philip Lucas, the boat's master, were killed, while Derby escaped. Ronaldsway later became closely associated with the Christian family. Deemster Ewan Christian held the estate, and his son William Christian, Illiam Dhone, was described in a later ballad as possessing a house like a king's, with woodlands, springs and a garden compared to Eden. A dispute over the estate had already reached James Stanley in 1643, when a petition alleged that an infant had a claim to Ronaldsway. William Christian was executed at nearby Hango Hill in January 1663. The estate continued in the hands of representatives of the same family afterwards.

Ronaldsway, beneath what is now Isle of Man Airport, is the type-site of the Late Neolithic 'Ronaldsway Culture', a distinctive way of life known only from the Isle of Man and dated to around 2200-1900 BC. Excavated in difficult conditions during airport expansion in 1939-40, the site produced a complex sub-rectangular sunken house along with Grooved Ware, incised slate plaques, and characteristic deep Ronaldsway-style pottery jars.

Rose Cottage on Surby Road, Surby, near Port Erin, is a cottage on the Isle of Man's Registered Buildings list. No further verifiable history for this specific building was found.

Rotterdam is a major port city in the Netherlands. It was part of the European trading network that connected the Isle of Man with Continental markets, particularly during the eighteenth-century smuggling era when foreign goods from across Europe were imported into the Island for clandestine re-export to Britain and Ireland.

Historic parish and sheading in the south of the Isle of Man. Kirk Christ Rushen was one of the seventeen traditional parishes. An early eighteenth-century description connected the parish name with the church being built beside a “Rushy bog”. That explanation belongs to the antiquarian tradition and is not in itself evidence for the origin of the name. The parish covered much of the southern peninsula, including the uplands above the coast. William Sacheverell recorded an unusual feature in its mountainous ground: a pool which he described as having water of such a “vitriolic” quality that ducks and geese could not live near it. He thought the effect might be connected with signs of copper in the surrounding hills. Rushen was also one of the Island's six sheadings. Following the reorganisation of the Common Law Courts in 1796, Malew, Rushen and Arbory formed Rushen Sheading and, with Middle and Glanfaba, made up the Southern District. The Sheading Courts dealt with civil actions, land titles and other local business. Earlier practice brought juries and parish representatives to the courts, while deeds concerning land were produced for confirmation and enrolment. The courts generally met in May and October; for the southern sheadings the Common Law Court was held at Castletown, with separate days assigned to the business of each sheading. Rushen Abbey lay within the same sheading, though in Malew parish. A nineteenth-century description placed the abbey on the western bank of the Silverburn at Ballasalla, two miles north of Castletown.

Rushen Abbey, near Ballasalla, was founded in 1134 when Olaf I (Óláfr Guðrøðarson), King of Mann and the Isles, granted land to Savignac monks from Furness Abbey; the order merged with the Cistercians in 1147, and the abbey's church, dedicated to St Mary, was completed by 1257. For centuries it was the centre of literacy and record-keeping on the island, and is believed to be where the Chronicle of Mann and other key historical manuscripts were compiled. Dissolved in the 16th-century Reformation, the site fell into neglect before becoming a popular tourist attraction in the early 1900s, then deteriorated again through the mid-20th century. Manx National Heritage acquired the ruins in May 1998 and carried out restoration and archaeological excavation that revealed new details of monastic life. It now operates as a seasonal heritage centre with museum displays, conserved ruins, and family activities exploring medieval Manx history.
