Your Personal Railway Adventure
Beautiful scenery, comfortable carriages and historic steam engines await you here in the Snowdonia National Park. Glorious coastline, ancient woodlands, mountains, waterfalls and a viaduct, all beckon as you embark on your journey.
Relax and enjoy the stunning scenery of Southern Snowdonia, with refreshments at Tywyn Wharf and Abergynowlwyn stations and a fully-licensed bar at Tywyn Wharf featuring locally-brewed award-winning beers.
As the world’s first preserved steam railway, we know a bit about what makes a journey special: even a short trip on our railway will help you unwind – so much so, we think you’ll want to do it all over again
