Llanberis Lake Railway
Recommended by
Overview
Starting near the foot of Snowdon, our vintage narrow-gauge steam trains, dating from 1889 to 1922, take you on a five mile return journey along the shore of Lake Padarn, following the route of the old slate railway. Passengers are treated to spectacular views of Snowdon and nearby mountains. The main station is adjacent to the Welsh Slate Museum in Padarn Country Park. Santa Train runs at weekends in December, and an Easter Egg Hunt over Easter weekend, please telephone for details of these and other events.

About the area
The county of Gwynedd is home to most of the Snowdonia National Park – including the wettest spot in Britain, an arête running up to Snowdon’s summit that receives an average annual rainfall of 4,473mm. With its mighty peaks, rivers and strong Welsh heritage (it has the highest proportion of Welsh-speakers in all of Wales), it’s always been an extremely popular place to visit and live.
