Welsh Highland Railway
Description
Running along the edge of Snowdon from Caernarfon to Porthmadog. The journey is spectacular, starting with the impressive slowly climbing out of Caernarfon into the mountains before finally reaching its highest point just after Rhyd Ddu. The line then twists and turns its way back down the mountain, through the stunning Aberglaslyn Pass and across a wide flood plane before finally crossing through the centre of Porthmadog to end at the Ffestiniog railway station. The full journey takes a little over two hours, and due to the length of time there are only limited departures a day. It's possible to shorten a round trip by taking the number 1 bus from Porthmadog back to Caernarfon at the end (additional charge) which only takes 40 minutes to get back to Caernarfon.
