The Welsh Highland Railway

The Welsh Highland Railway in Snowdonia offers enthusiasts the chance to travel back through time and travel on the authentic narrow gauge railway that cuts through some of the best scenery in the country.

Powered by the most powerful 2' gauge steam locomotives; it runs from alongside the awe-inspiring Caernarfon Castle, snaking around seemingly impossible bends, up hard gradients and around the foothills of Snowdon to arrive at Rhyd Ddu, about 12 miles from Caernarfon and high up in the Snowdonia Mountains.

The WHR is, probably… the most exciting railway project in the country - providing 'access for all' to some of the best scenery in the UK - it's quite simply a must-see!
