Brecon Mountain Railway
Rheilffordd Mynydd Brycheiniog
A narrow-gauge steam tourist train running along a reservoir shore and through the valleys south of the Brecon Beacons, ideal for families and railway enthusiasts.
The railway uses the trackbed of the old Brecon and Merthyr Railway. It departs from Pant station, north of Merthyr Tydfil, and runs along Pontsticill Reservoir to Torpantau station. The round trip takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes, including a stop along the way, with views of the Brecon Beacons peaks. You can walk around the terminus, and Pant station has a café and a locomotive workshop to visit. Tickets are required, and operating dates are listed on the official website.
