The Journey
WELSHPOOL & LLANFAIR
LIGHT RAILWAY
The Journey
| Your
journey begins on the edge of the historic market town of
Welshpool. Right from the start it is all action as the
train battles up the notoriously steep Golfa Bank
accompanied by the sound of the locomotive echoing off the
hills. From the open balconies of our unique Hungarian and Austrian coaches you will see the beautiful mid Wales countryside roll slowly by as you travel into the delightful Banwy Valley. Your train will be hauled by one of our historic steam locomotives which include 'The Earl' and 'The Countess' supplied new to the railway in 1902. Our other operational steam locomotives were built for use in Sierra Leone and Romania. |

Wales you may well see deer, hawks and even otters. As you approach your journey's end the train travels along the River Banwy into Llanfair Caereinion. |
