Wales - North Wales

The railway follows the River Dee, classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest Status (SSSI), for its entire length.

Our 10 mile section of track, which in its day crossed Wales from Ruabon to Barmouth, offers a sample of the sights and sounds of yesteryear passing through some of the finest natural beauty North Wales has to offer.

The railway is located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and this is evident as you meander through the Dee Valley. From lambs in the Spring to the multicoloured falling leaves of Autumn, the views from our carriages are picturesque and ever changing.

As well as steam hauled trains, we also run Diesel Locomotive and Heritage Railcar services on selected days throughout the season.

There are great discounts offered to groups who prebook, prices start from £8 for a single journey, there is also the option to add on a Cream Tea to enjoy while you pass along the picturesque line.

Llangollen Railway offers service trains everyday from March to September, along with Santa Specials and Days Out With Thomas events for the children along with Jazz Trains and Real Ale Trains for the adults to enjoy. Visit the website for more information.
