🚂 A steam hauled journey along the LLANBERIS LAKE RAILWAY, exploring Slate Quarry Heritage & MORE!
This narrow gauge railway lies in the heart of slate country, and Dinorwic Quarry was a key supplier in of slate before its closure in 1969. Today the railway has been repurposed as a tourist attraction, taking passengers on a scenic journey along the lake up to the limit of operations at Penllyn. We enjoy a steam hauled ride behind Hunslet Works No.849/No.2 ‘Thomas Bach’ so called after the nickname of the locomotives regular Quarry driver.
We stop on the way back to have a look round both Cei Lydian and the main station at Gilfach Ddu, with remnants of the Slate Quarry industry still very prevalent. Another great little narrow gauge railway in Wales, that perfectly compliments it's Snowdon mountain climbing neighbour! | 23.06.2025
