Attractions - Steam Railway, Little trains of North Wales

There are 7 narrow gauge steam railways.

The Tal y Llyn line which runs up a scenic valley from Tywyn is operated by very friendly volunteers, at a leisurely pace.

The Bala to Llanuwchlyn line runs along side Llyn Tegid; while the Ffestiniog to Porthmadog uses the old line where the slates were brought down from the mines for shipping all over the world. This line links with the main line to Pwllheli at Minffordd; and from Ffestiniog, one can travel up the Conwy main line to Llandudno and Bangor.

A new line from Caernarfon steams to the foot of Snowdon at Rhyd Ddu, and is to be extended down to Beddgelert and Porthmadog – a truly scenic route from coast to coast.

At Llanberis there are two lines – the old slate line along side Llyn Peris, along which the slates were transported from the quarries, and the famous Rack and Pinion Snowdon Mountain Railway which operates from April to October.

Finally there is the Llangollen train up the valley to Corwen.
