Travel by train to the mighty Snowdon, visit magical Portmeirion and enjoy the iconic Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog Railways

Relive the Golden Age of rail travel in the stunning Welsh mountains, travelling on the Snowdon Mountain Railway with panoramic views over Snowdonia National Park, and the Llanberis Lake Railway, which follows the shore of stunning glacial Lake Padarn in comfortable carriages propelled by steam - just as they were all those years ago.

You'll spend four nights at the historic Llandudno Bay Hotel, just a stone's throw from the beach and a 20-minute stroll away from the Great Orme Tramway. Conwy and the beautiful Snowdonia National Park are only 15-minutes' drive away.

There will also be a chance to ride the world's oldest narrow-gague railway, the Ffestiniog, visit the quirky Italianate village of Portmeirion and walk around Snowdonia National Park's principal village known for its outdoor pursuits, Betws-y-Coed.

Visitors have been travelling to Llanberis since 1896 to experience a unique rail journey to the highest mountain in England and Wales, which you too can now enjoy.
