Snaefell (Manx: Sniaull) is the highest mountain and the only summit higher than 2,000 feet (610 m) on the Isle of Man, at 2,037 feet (621 m) above sea level. The summit is crowned by a railway station of the Snaefell Mountain Railway, café - restaurant (the former Summit Hotel, only open at operating times of the railway, normally between April and September) and several communications masts. A geodetic marker (TP6035-Snaefell) embedded in the small, concrete obelisk indicates the true mountain summit.
It is a well-known saying in the Isle of Man that on a clear day six kingdoms can be seen from the top: the Isle of Man, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Heaven. Some versions add a seventh kingdom, that of Manannán (or the sea).
