| "I really enjoyed my visit to the Welsh Highland
Heritage Railway in Porthmadog. For the visitor, there is a large free carpark and a charming tea room selling locally made meals and snacks. The shop is the central point on the railway; for the railway enthusiast it has virtually every railway book available and is the best railway bookshop I have ever been to! There is also a range of toys and Thomas the Tank Engine gifts for the children, sweets, chocolate and icecream. The shop also sells a range of model railway goods and is the place to purchase your tickets. The railway journey itself is fairly short - but for families with young children it is just right. Your tickets allow you to travel all day and unlike some of the other bigger 'Great Little Trains of Wales', the staff and volunteers take time-out to talk to the customers and interact with them. On the return journey from Pen-y-Mount to Porthmadog, the train stops at the engine sheds where a new museum building has just opened. Here visitors are able to view preserved steam and diesel locomotives and climb on them, and find out all about the history of narrow gauge railways. There is something for everyone at the WHR and I would definitely visit again." Michael Chapman - Bradford, West Yorks. Date submitted: April 25th, 2009. |
