The man on the gate was quick at offering information about the next train, and had taken our money and given us a ticket before we'd had time to say we just wanted to turn round and investigate the other car parks first (there was one just down the road for £3.50). The day we chose had terrible ... more

... weather, and the concept of walking downhill for 2.5hrs in the rain and wind became completely unappealing, so we opted for a return ticket instead. We got quite a shock on seeing the prices: £25 each for a return ticket, £16 one-way! Having grown up ju...more

I have just returned from a short and much needed, break in North Wales. It was my first trip to the area, booked very last minute (just after midday on our day of departure!) so my partner and I hadn't really looked at what there was to do in the area, we just packed up our bags and embarked on the adventure! Our hotel offered lots of leaflets to peruse, including one on the Mountain Railway. The leaflet gave lots of details about the route the train took and how to book, however failed to mention the price (gulp, see further on) or train times. Both of us thought it seemed like a good idea, and planned to take the train up then walk down so we could explore ... Read the complete review

During the summer before last, I took my sister and two nieces on the "Snowdon Mountain Railway" to the summit of Snowdon. I've always wanted to do this journey and was really looking forward to it. At 3560 feet high, Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales and England. It is also the most accessible mountain top in England or Wales since the train takes the strain! There's hardly any walking at all to do at all. The Snowdon Mountain Railway trip is not cheap. An adult ticket is an eye watering £23, with a child's ticket being £16. Fortunately, there is an offer of an 'early bird' journey, i.e. the first train of the day at 09:00 of half ... Read the complete review

A few years ago I wrote a list of all the things that I wanted to do before I shook off my mortal coil so to speak. The list included things such as a ride on the Orient Express and a climb to the top of St Paul’s Cathedral, both of which I have since done. It also still has many things yet to be achieved and taking the mountain railway up to the top of Mount Snowdon was one of them. As you may well know I have just been to Anglesey for a week’s holiday and as we toured around North Wales we found the mountain railway at Llanberis. We decided to return later in the week and take a ride up Mount Snowdon. The railway station is on the main ... Read the complete review
