From Sarah’s Cottage to Cronk y Voddy crossroads, the land either side of the course is mainly agricultural. You can watch from a number of vantage spots with spectacular viewing to be found between Lamb Fell and Molyneux’s in particular. Please check with marshals before making yourself at home.   

A spectacularly fast left-hand bend can be found at Barregarrow Crossroads at the top of the hill, which is accessible from either side of the course. From the inside of the course, you can walk down to the bottom of Barregarrow for more jaw-dropping action, but viewing is very limited and increasingly popular!   

There is an excellent and popular vantage point at Whitehouse Park, which is found on the way out of the village (entrance fee on race days). The Mitre Pub, just along from Douglas Road Corner, provides a great atmosphere, while several side roads also offer limited, but very good spectating through the village.   

Ballaugh Bridge is perhaps the most famous landmark on the course. After getting airborne over the hump-backed bridge, the riders speed away through the village. Viewing is permitted from behind the barriers at both sides of the junction. The outside has better visibility whilst the inside boasts the Raven Hotel.   

Sulby is one of the fastest sections of the course and riders tear through the village at breathtaking speeds. Spectators will find excellent viewing around Sulby Crossroads and Sulby Bridge. Ginger Hall provides more action as competitors exit the bridge and sweep around the left-hander to start the bumpy stretch through Kerrowmoar.   

This is a very fast section of the course and includes a bumpy left-hander around the famous K-tree. Full access is restricted to race days and limited to an area on the inside of the course. Spectators can reach this via Lezayre Church Road. The remainder of the surrounding land is private, so please respect the landowners.   

Spectator space is very limited at Milntown, but the bridge provides a thrilling view as riders leap over the Auldyn River and into Ramsey. The best vantage is at the Grammar School, which offers excellent visibility of Schoolhouse Corner – a key bend where competitors often drift into the bus lay-by on exit.   

This square is a top hospitality area and a favourite among fans. Riders brake sharply into the right-hand corner, sweep across the square, and accelerate out with a fast left-hander. Spectators can watch from both sides of the course or from The Swan pub, with access available via the footbridge.   

Providing glorious views, all-day access, car parking and (often) hot food, The Gooseneck is a tight right-hand bend found 700ft above the town of Ramsey. Watch from behind the wall on the approach for a close-up experience as riders brake late for the corner, or from the banks that line the exit for an elevated vantage point.   

The spectacular view from the Bungalow extends all the way from the Verandah to Brandywell, some 1.5 miles later. Victory Cafe provides food and facilities, while there’s plenty of parking for anyone not arriving via the Mountain Railway. A footbridge allows access to either side of the course for several perspectives.   

Found at the very highest part of the TT Course, the junction at Brandywell provides spectators with a long open view of the riders accelerating up Hailwood Rise from the Bungalow before sweeping around the left hander. An easy walk takes you to the Bungalow for a new vantage point and the tram to Laxey.   

Keppel Gate and Kate’s Cottage both offer expansive views on a spectacular section of the course. At Keppel Gate, fans can watch the bikes approaching all the way from the 33rd before tipping in to the tricky left hander and dropping down the hill to Kate’s Cottage and on towards Creg ny Baa. The action is fast and thrilling!   

Fans lining the banks here are treated to the famous sight of the bikes screaming down from Kate’s to the sharp right-hander in front of the landmark pub. You can also drink in the special atmosphere here by lining the grass banks on the exit, providing a long view of the competitors heading away towards Brandish.   

Hillberry offers a superb view of the bikes approaching from Brandish, through the super-fast right-hander and on up to Cronk ny Mona. You will find thrilling trackside viewing from behind the wall, which provides an unbeatable up-close view of the riders as they brush past and disappear round the bend.   

Signpost is very popular and the private house owned by the Bullock family is open to the public on race days for a charitable donation. There are great views from here, or alternatively take up a spot on the grass bank after the exit. A footpath provides easy access from here to Bedstead, The Nook and Governor’s Bridge.   

Governor’s Bridge is a great spot for that souvenir photograph as the riders slow right down for the tight first gear right-hander. A sizeable and fully accessible viewing area was established at Governor’s back in 2009. You can also spectate from the top of Victoria Road as the competitors exit the ‘old road’.
