Welsh Highland Railway ... Porthmadog, North Wales.

Newest Review: ... a sunset fare of £14.50 valid for one round trip on the final train of the day. We got to Caernarvon in good time to catch the 1000 train and parked at the station. There is limited parking here at a cost of £2 for the day. The station is very near to Caernarvon Castle and can easily be found by following the signs. There is a large car park next to the castle which would be suitable if the ... more

The Welsh Highland Railway runs from Caernarfon to Rhyd Ddu in Snowdonia, this is currently being extended to Portmadog and final phase should be completed this year (2009). Of course, you don't have to start in Caernarfon, you can board the train in Rhyd Ddu or one of the stations inetween if you wish. We started our journey in Caernarfon. The Welsh Highland Railway begins beneath the town's castle and is easily found using the brown tourist signs. There is a small car park at the train station, but you can also use the car park just a couple of minutes walk away (which we did) - this is situated by a habour below the castle. Toilets are available in a ...  Read the complete review

A really well run place with plenty to see It's too far away for me to go there often

Season-suitable family activities. None.

A fabulous building Access is very restricted - only one weekend per year

Very thought provoking; a moving experience Downright cold ! Take a jacket with you !

You learn about the real people of Tudor times, not just Royalty! Expensive maybe, location might be considered too out of the way.

Very enjoyable trip to Bowness Not so enjoyable trip on the way back
