Welsh Highland Railway

From WhereToday




The Welsh Highland Railway is a restored 1 ft 11+1⁄2 in narrow-gauge heritage railway in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. It runs along a 25-mile (40.2 km) route from Caernarfon to Porthmadog, and passes through a number of popular tourist destinations including Beddgelert and the Aberglaslyn Pass. At Porthmadog it connects with the Ffestiniog Railway and to the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. In Porthmadog it uses the United Kingdom's only mixed gauge flat rail crossing.
