Scenic Railroad Attractions In North Wales

1. Talyllyn Railway Tywyn
The Talyllyn Railway is a narrow gauge preserved railway in Wales running for 7.25 miles from Tywyn on the Mid-Wales coast to Nant Gwernol near the village of Abergynolwyn. The line was opened in 1865 to carry slate from the quarries at Bryn Eglwys to Tywyn, and was the first narrow gauge railway in Britain authorised by Act of Parliament to carry passengers using steam haulage. Despite severe under-investment, the line remained open, and in 1951 it became the first railway in the world to be preserved as a heritage railway by volunteers.Since preservation, the railway has operated as a tourist attraction, expanding its rolling stock through acquisition and an engineering programme to build new locomotives and carriages. In 1976, an extension was opened along the former mineral line from A...

The Great Orme is a limestone headland on the north coast of Wales, above the town of Llandudno. Referred to as Cyngreawdr Fynydd by the 12th-century poet Gwalchmai ap Meilyr, its English name derives from the Old Norse word for sea serpent. The Little Orme, a smaller but very similar limestone headland, is on the eastern side of Llandudno Bay.

Llyn Tegid [ˈɬɨ̞n ˈtɛɡɨd]), is a lake in Gwynedd, Wales, near the town of Bala. The name Tegid may be related to Welsh teg, meaning fair.

The River Dee runs through it and the waters of the lake are deep and clear.

9. Corris Railway Corris
Corris is a village and community in the south of Snowdonia in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. It lies in the historic county of Merionethshire/Sir Feirionnydd. Although the Snowdonia National Park covers much of the area around Corris, the village is not within the park. The name was first recorded in the thirteenth century and is derived from the Welsh corres . In this context it probably means 'little one', referring to the river that flows into the larger Afon Dulas at Aber Corris. Thus although the area is noted for its slate mines, the name Corris has no connection with the English word quarries. Other fanciful explanations include the following by Thomas Morgan : 'We find the forms Corys and Corus in the Cambrian Register for 1795. Some think the place takes its name from a saint calle...
