A self-governing dependency of the UK Crown, the Isle of Man is not a part of the EU; its standoffishness pays off in it lovingly preserved culture. Top destinations include Moore's Traditional Museum in Peel, to take a peak at how Manx kippers have been cured over oak chips, and the Ballabrara Arts in Port St Mary, where creations made of Manx slate are made by hand. Make sure to try the national dish of spuds and herrin (boiled potatoes and herring).
