Llangollen Railway
Rheilffordd Llangollen
A heritage steam railway running through the Dee Valley, covering about 16 km from Llangollen to Corwen with scenic views from the carriage windows.
The Llangollen Railway is a heritage line restored and run by volunteers. Steam or diesel locomotives haul vintage carriages from Llangollen station through small stations such as Berwyn and Carrog to Corwen, a one-way journey of about an hour. Llangollen station sits right beside the old Dee bridge, and the platform itself is a popular photo spot. In peak season there are several trains a day. Return tickets cost around £20, and it is best to check timetables on the official website and book ahead. You can also get off at Berwyn station and walk to Horseshoe Falls before returning.
Opening hours
Runs on schedule; peak season approx. 10:00–17:00
