Talyllyn Railway, home to the Talyllyn railway, a historic narrow gauge steam railway, being the World’s First preserved Railway! Running continuously since 1865, the track runs for 7.25 miles from Tywyn to Abergynolwyn and Nant Gwernol. Operated by a dedicated group of Volunteers, the railway carries passengers along the same route their Victorian ancestors would have done. Retrace the quarryman’s journey into the hills to mine slate. The principal station at Tywyn is also home to the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, Railway Shop, and King’s Licensed Cafe & Bistro. A large car park is available close to the station. The line passes the delightful Dolgoch Falls and there are excellent forest walks at Nant Gwernol. A great day out for all the family and dogs are allowed to travel too, allow 4 hours for a round trip, visit the museum, and have something to eat! Groups receive a discount when booked in advance.
Dolgoch Falls are part of the Nant Dol-gôch stream, which flows into the Afon Fathew, a popular walk that’s fun whatever the weather.
Broad Water, the perfect location to spend the day, where the hills roll down to meet the river and the river flows into the sea. Ideal for SUP, kayaks, fishing, and open water swimming.
