For the engine enthusiasts…

Journey through the beautiful Mid-Wales countryside on a scenic, rural railway. Historically, the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway was built in 1903 to link farming communities with a way to sell their produce to local markets across the county. Today, trains continue to steam serenely along the railway as a visitor attraction, running through the Powis Estate, a viaduct and climb the notoriously steep Golfa Bank. Find out more
