Talyllyn Railway

Talyllyn Railway Historic narrow-gauge steam railway running through unspoilt Snowdonia. The line runs from Tywyn. The trip takes about an hour each way.
(1072)

Experience the nostalgia of historic steam trains in some of Wales’ finest countryside. The railway starts on the coast at Tywyn, snakes through the foothills of Cader Idris to Dolgoch Falls, Abergynolwyn and Nant Gwernol. The train clings to the hillside as it passes through woodland and over ravines. Your ticket allows you to break your journey and extend your day: you could take a country walk,

explore wooded paths, discover waterfalls or visit the beach. Tywyn Wharf station is home to the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, which tells the story of little railways across Britain, and King’s Cafe which has hot and cold menus, lunch time specials and a licensed bar. Quarryman’s Tea Room at Abergynolwyn serves a range of refreshments and light bites.

Our final Photo CharTR of the year is well underway, featuring a rather dirty and worn 'Dolgoch'.

A team of volunteers have carefully weathered No.2 to resemble how she was in the late 1940s, including some temporary sign writing! She rather looks the part, don't you think?
