Laxey (Manx: Laksaa) is a Village on the east coast of the Isle of Man. Its name derives from the Old Norse Laxa meaning ‘Salmon River’.
The village lies on the A2, the main Douglas to Ramsey road. Laxey Glen is one of the Manx National Glens, with Dhoon Glen being located close by. The Raad ny Foillan long distance coastal footpath, opened in 1986, runs along the coast through the village.
In the 19th century, mining for lead and zinc began, becoming the largest industry the village has had. The Laxey mines were the deepest in the World in the 19th century. Mining in Laxey came to an end 75 years later in 1929. The village also had a fishing industry.
