Welsh Highland Railway Vlog - More Things To Do In North Wales

Welcome to this North Wales, Welsh Highland Railway Vlog.

In this Welsh Highland Railway vlog, or More Things To Do In North Wales, we take the amazing Welsh Highland Railway steam train from Caernarfon to Beddgelert, with a short stop in Beddgelert to have a look around the beautiful Snowdonia town.

The Welsh Highland Railway runs between Caernarfon and Porthmadog, but we took it between Caernarfon and Beddgelert this day.

Wikipedia says this about the Welsh Highland Railway -

The Welsh Highland Railway (WHR; Welsh: Rheilffordd Eryri) is a 25-mile (40.2 km) long, restored 1 ft 11+1⁄2 in (597 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway in the Welsh county of Gwynedd, operating from Caernarfon to Porthmadog, and passing through a number of popular tourist destinations including Beddgelert and the Aberglaslyn Pass. At Porthmadog it connects with the Ffestiniog Railway and to the short Welsh Highland Heritage Railway.[a] In Porthmadog it uses the United Kingdom's only mixed gauge flat rail crossing.

The restoration, which had the civil engineering mainly built by contractors and the track mainly built by volunteers, received a number of awards. Originally running from Dinas, near Caernarfon, to Porthmadog Harbour,[5] the current line includes an additional section from Dinas to Caernarfon. The original line also had a branch to Bryngwyn and the slate quarries around Moel Tryfan, which has not been restored. (This branch forms a footpath "rail trail", the lower section of which has been resurfaced and supplied with heritage notice-boards.)

There is also the 3⁄4-mile (1.2 km) long Welsh Highland Heritage Railway which runs from Porthmadog along the track bed of the former Cambrian Railways exchange siding and connects to the WHR main line at Pen-y-Mount junction.

If you're looking for things to see and do in North Wales, then we highly recommend this Welsh Highland Railway steam train journey.

As always, we finish the day with a sum up and a well deserved drink - oh, and don't forget the terrible joke at the end of every video.

We hope you've enjoyed this Welsh Highland Railway North Wales vlog and as we say in Postcard And A Pint - Cheers To The Good Times x

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint YouTube channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x
