Railway

The world’s oldest narrow-gauge railway, the Ffestiniog Railway is a must-see for anyone visiting Porthmadog. Sit back and enjoy views of Snowdonia in the comfort of the steam train’s carriages and choose from a selection of food and drink from the at-seat buffet service and fully licenced bar.

Portmeirion

Just a short drive away from Harlech and easily assessable by train being a ten-minute walk from Minfford station, you’ll find the village, Portmeirion. This famous tourist village has been the location of several film and television shows. Created by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion is a truly unique and beautiful sight. His intention was to show how natural beauty could be complemented by building developments rather than spoilt. And he certainly achieved that. Train from Harlech station to Minfford Station then only a short walk to Portmeirion

Portmeirion (1)

Drawing upon Italian and Mediterranean inspiration, the fascinating and brightly washed buildings surround a central piazza. Surrounding these terracotta-roofed buildings is a subtropical forest known as the The Gwyllt. Home to secret gardens, rare flowers and some of the largest trees in Britain, these exotic woodlands are worth visiting just as much as the village itself. The truly magnificent oriental garden, complete with a temple and Chinese bridge, is another must-see at Portmeirion.
