You don’t have to be a railway enthusiast to enjoy the Talyllyn Railway. Running since 1865 and known as ‘The Railway with a Heart of Gold’, it is the world’s first preserved railway. The journey is 7 miles long from Tywyn through the ancient woodlands of Fathew Valley, coming to its final destination at the fairy tale-like woodland, Nant Gwernol railway station. Taking 55 minutes in total, you will experience the beauty of the Welsh countryside and wildlife in no better way.
At the Tywyn station you will also find the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, Railway Shop and the King’s Café where you can stop for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake, or choose from a selection of real ales and wines. This narrow gauge steam railway is a perfect activity for the whole family.
