Affordable Entertainment for All Ages and Interests Whatever the Weather!

We provide a short train ride in historic narrow-gauge railway carriages out to and back from Pen-y-mount station, with, on the way back, a stop of around half an hour to explore our extensive all weather, hands-on railway heritage centre, and, subject to volunteer staff availability, opportunities to ride on our miniature railway.

The train departs from Porthmadog (WHHR) Station, just across the road from Porthmadog’s main line (Cambrian Coast) railway station, and gets back in about an hour. It is hauled by a steam locomotive when enough volunteer staff are available, otherwise or at quieter times by a diesel locomotive.

Before and after the trip you can also visit our shop, which is well stocked with gifts, toys, railway models and books, and the Russell Café, which serves home cooked food, coffees and drinks. A car park is available free of charge to visitors, although it can get full at busy times.

Train services for 2022 operate through to the beginning of November, please see the timetable and events page for details. Tickets are valid for unlimited travel on day of purchase, and a family ticket (maximum 2 adults 2 children) costs £30. Please see the fares page for more details.
