FAIRBOURNE STEAM RAILWAY

The station can be reached by car via the A493. Another alternative is to take a boat that departs regularly from the small port (£3 per adult for a crossing that takes less than 20 minutes). The railway installed in 1895 for wealthy English holidaymakers is still in service today and it is the occasion for a nice ride on board an old steam train. It goes over the bridge from Barmouth to Fairbourne. It is a magnificent 7 km circuit with breathtaking views of the estuary and the mountains.
