| Llangollen Railway Plc | |
|
Part of the Ruabon to Barmouth line, our Railway closed to passenger traffic in 1965, and to goods in 1968. The track and signalling was removed the following month, and for seven years the buildings and trackbed were left at the mercy of nature. A group of enthusiastic volunteers started the rebirth of the line with an open day in September 1975, with 60 feet of track; since then the line has rarely looked back. The efforts of the growing band of volunteers have seen it extended to some 7½ miles along the Dee Valley through outstanding Welsh scenery, with views over the valley and its surroundings not seen from the A5 above. The line remains largely volunteer-operated, and an extension of another 2½ miles to Corwen is planned, and possibly beyond. A link back to the mainline network at Ruabon is a long-term aim, putting the Dee Valley firmly back on the railway map. Trains operate at weekends for most of the year, and daily from June to the end of October. During the summer, most trains are steam-hauled; at other times diesel locos or railcars may be used. This is most likely out of season. Currently operational steam engines are Pannier 7754, Black 5 44806, Jinty 47298, long-term visitor Small Prairie 4141, 7822 Foxcote Manor, and 5459 Austin No. 1 (often out on hire).

A visit to North Wales is not complete without a canal boat trip at Llangollen Wharf.
Take a 45 minute trip along the feeder of the Llangollen canal in a boat pulled by one of our gorgeous heavy horses. Gliding along silently past shoals of fish in the crystal clear waters, you can enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery of the Dee Valley.
Alternatively, don't forget your camera for the 2 hour trip on the aptly named narrow boat THOMAS TELFORD. This travels from the Wharf across Telford's magnificent PONTCYSYLLTE AQUEDUCT, providing the thrill of travelling in a boat 126 feet above the River Dee. Refreshments and a bar on board add to the comfort of an unforgettable journey. There's an informative commentary throughout the trip. Please ring in advance to book as places are limited - two trips per day usually.
