Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway

“I first visited this uniquely nostalgic welsh narrow-gauge railway back in June of 2024 (with my mum accompanying me, on a weekend holiday to oswestry), and what a joyful pleasure to have visited both ends of the line... at welshpool raven square, from where we had a refreshing soft drink at a nearby restaurant named, the raven, And over at the historically captivating... llanfair caereinion station of whom the main hub of the wonderfully astounding, very uniquely nostalgic welshpool & llanfair light railway, in mid-wales, This really is one of the greatest heritage railway attractions that I myself ever visited, I do hope to revisit the W&LLR in-person someday... hopefully to ride aboard one of their trains along the line as well. Home to a fine fleet of narrow-gauge locomotives & rolling stock of whom ever so characterful, and the line is well run by volunteers that do a great job at running this Edwardian narrow-gauge tourist/heritage railway in it's simplicity. Tip-TOP.... 50 out of 50.”

“Both Welshpool and Llanfair stations have good of parking, Parking at Llanfair is always a good choice and it’s offers slightly better options if you wish to take time afterwards, heading into Welshpool for something to eat and a wander around. The fares are great value for the length of the journey - you really feel like you’re getting a proper experience. The open carriage balconies with end‑to‑end viewing is a real highlight. Standing out there with the sounds and smells of the locomotive, while the line winds through gorgeous countryside and runs close to the river, is just magic.”

“We where going to Powys castle for the day and saw an opportunity to do it in a little style! Was a great idea and day overall, taking the line into Welshpool first thing and taking the last one back at the end of the day - gave us 3 or 4 hours around Welshpool and the castle. The train itself was lovely and the staff volunteers where very friendly and engaging with small facts throughout, would highly recommend. I think children would really love this too!”
