A 40-minute ride in a train pulled by an authentic steam locomotive that was once used to transport slate to Menai Strait. The circuit runs along the twin lakes, Llyn Beris and Llyn Padarn. The train departs from Padarn Country Park Station or Llanberis Station and stops at Penllyn. The walk is nice and we discover beautiful landscapes that we wouldn't necessarily see otherwise. It's worth it, especially if you don't stay long and don't have the possibility to go on foot to discover this area.

The line runs between Porthmadog and Pen-y-Mount: 55 minutes of scenic discovery on this train pulled by a steam locomotive, plus a visit to the maintenance and restoration workshops.
