description

The Welsh Highland Railway is the newest railway in North Wales. It runs from beside Caernarfon Castle through one of the more remote areas of the National Park. New for 2009 are services to Beddgelert and the Aberglaslyn Pass. A return trip takes around 4 hours and shorter journeys to the halfway station are also available. A rover ticket gives you the opportunity to make the most of your day. The Welsh Highland Railway will soon be linked with the Ffestiniog Railway at Porthmadog.
