Scenic Railways of North Wales
From $1,015
Summary
When the extension of the Welsh Highland Railway from Rhyd-Ddu to Porthmadog was completed it became possible to travel by narrow-gauge railway all the way from Caernarfon to Blaenau-Ffestiniog, a journey of some 40 miles, hauled by the most powerful 2-foot gauge steam locomotives in the world. We start under the walls of an ancient castle, run past streams, lakes and woodlands, swing around tight curves and hug the side of the magnificent Aberglaslyn Pass on the way to Porthmadog. There we join up with the historic Ffestiniog Railway and its famously scenic route up to the dramatic slate quarries of Blaenau Ffestiniog.
We have another wonderfully scenic train journey as we enjoy a leisurely puff to the top of Snowdon to the newly rebuilt summit restaurant with its breathtaking views. We also take the opportunity to visit historic Carnaerfon Castle and explore the beautiful Bodnant Gardens, and offer the option to hear the thrilling sound of a Welsh Male Voice Choir.
