The Isle of Man Walking Festival, which is currently seeing hundreds of people don their outdoor footwear for a range of challenging walks around the beautiful island, is now into its second day.

Walkers today have a choice of six walks, according to isleofman.com.

The longest is an impressive 13.5-mile coastal walk from Port Erin to Peel, taking in Fleshwick, Niarbyl and Glen Maye.

For those who don't fancy such a strenuous hike, there are plenty of easier options, including a 4.8-mile walk from Port Erin to Chasma that passes the village of Cregneash, and a 4.3-miler from Colby Glenn to Baie ny Carrickey that takes walkers through a wooded gorge.

And after all their hard work, today's walkers will be able to throw off their hiking footwear and rest their weary legs with a jazz night.

A record number of walkers are taking part in the six-day walking festival, according to manxradio.com.

There are 235 participants in total, with visitors from as far away as the Czech Republic and the US.
