The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways are two of the UK’s most popular heritage railways, located in the heart of picturesque Snowdonia. We operate trains daily from late March to the end of October.

The Welsh Highland Railway (WHR; Welsh: Rheilffordd Eryri) is a 25-mile (40.2 km) long, restored 1 ft 111⁄2 in (597 mm) narrow-gauge heritage railway in the Welsh county of Gwynedd, operating from Caernarfon to Porthmadog, and passing through a number of popular tourist destinations including Beddgelert and the Aberglaslyn Pass.

We provide a short train ride in historic narrow-gauge railway carriages out to and back from Pen y Mount Junction station, with, on the way back, a stop of around half an hour to explore our extensive all weather, hands-on railway heritage centre and museum, and opportunities on most days to ride on our miniature railway.

The Welsh Highland Railway is train travel as it used to be. Starting from beneath the castle walls in historic Caernarfon, the railway climbs to the foot of Snowdon before dropping again to sea level at the harbour in Porthmadog.

Opened in 1923, the Welsh Highland Railway was formed by the merger of several much older railways: the Croesor Tramway, the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways, and the Portmadoc, Beddgelert and South Snowdon Railway.

The Welsh Highland Railway, the UK’s longest heritage railway, was fully reopened in 2011. The 25-mile route from Caernarfon to Porthmadog includes the foot of Snowdon, the beautiful resort of Beddgelert, and the stunning Aberglaslyn Pass.
