The Ffestiniog Railway, starting on the glorious WeIsh Coastline at Porthmadog, protected by the imposing castles of HarIech and Criccieth, is a memorable journey through the Snowdonia National Park.
From Harbour Station at Porthmadog, the train climbs through the sleepy pastures and Iuscious forests, skirting Iakes and waterfalIs. Clinging to and tunneling through the sides of mountains, the track takes in horseshoe bends which incIude a complete spiral. This area is so remote that the train is occasionalIy required to stop at isolated cottages whose inhabitants depend entirely upon the railway.
This journey covers the 13.5 miIes from Porthmadog, rising to over 700 feet above sea leveI at Blaenau Ffestiniog. |
