Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways

This was brilliant. Really clean, really fun, lovely staff and genuinely dog friendly! In fact, we had 4 dogs in our cart and it was brilliant!Views incredible! And a great way to see port Maddock.So many stations. it was a great ride! And lovely of the conductor to give us so much local knowledge!Thank you

Brilliant. The scenery is stunning. Being on the train is great fun, especially when it goes down the street at the start. A must do when in the area. Wheelchair space available.

Brilliant day today with a trip up to Bleanau, saw two Garrets, 2 Farlies and Blanche too. Great scenery, amazing staff, from the booking office to the shop and the train crew. What a fantastic experience.

Fantastic day out on 16/07/2023, taking in both the Woodland Wanderer to Tan-y-Bwlch in the morning and the Mountain Spirit in the afternoon.Experience was professional throughout as there were signalling issues during the day following the poor weather the previous day but visitor were kept well informed throughout the day and the departure time of the afternoon Mountain Spirit was pushed back to accommodate some of the lost time due to the issues which was a nice touchWould highly recommend giving both trips a go if you're local or visiting the area on holiday

This railway station is well worth a visit if you’re in the area.The trains are great to see and hear. I’m on a journey to Caernarfon tomorrow and really looking forward to it.The station is very well presented with a lovely cafe offering great views.You can park easily nearby of use public transport

Brilliant place! We loved every moment. The railway was brilliant. Super good train enthusiastic people. Great lunch available too!

I really enjoyed this spontaneous trip - The Harbourmaster with the Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog to Caernarfon.The views were amazing and well worth the trip.I'd definitely visit again if I found myself back in North Wales.Nice and friendly staff.

An absolutely wonderful experience, to be able to watch the comings and goings of rolling stock and to experience Railway travel as it used to be is an immersing joy. Unlike the hermetically sealed carriages of today the trains operated by the Ffestiniog Railway allow you to connect with the countryside you're travelling through. The locomotives are magnificent and larger than you would imagine for a gage of two feet. I can thoroughly recommend this attraction to all.

We really enjoyed our time on the train. The scenery is beautiful. The Spooners pub at Porthmadog is decent and you can get a nice lunch/coffee before you head off on your journey. It is definitely great to experience the steam trains. It takes you back in time and my thanks for the lovely staff on board the trains.The only issue I have is with the exorbitant prices of tickets. £44 per person is crazy especially when it isn't even a full sized steam train like with the Severn Valley Railway for example which costs half that. My Dad went here a couple of years ago and the price was a lot less so he was flabbergasted at the crazy increase in the cost. It might explain why some of the trains looked a bit empty when we watched them the day before our own trip. Is it with the money? Maybe if you are a total train nut but it is hard to justify it when similar places charge significantly less.
