Welsh Highland Railway as it travels through Plas-y-Nant in the Snowdonia area of Gwynedd, North Wales. It is the UK's longest heritage railway and runs for 25 miles from Caernarfon where trains start from beneath the castle walls for the journey to Porthmadog. The trains, hauled by the world's most powerful narrow gauge steam locomotives, climb from sea level to over 650ft on the foothills of Snowdon, before zig-zagging dramatically down the steep hillside to reach Beddgelert, nestling in the heart of the National Park, then through the magnificent Aberglaslyn Pass and on to Porthmadog. The original railway closed in 1936 and has now been completely rebuilt by volunteers at a cost of £28 million. With the 25-mile line now complete, together with a new £1.25 million two-platform layout at Harbour Station at Porthmadog (complete with a substantial semaphore signalling installation), it is now possible to connect with the world-famous Ffestiniog Railway and experience 40 unbroken miles of spectacular narrow-gauge steam. The trip though the Aberglaslyn Pass voted the most beautiful place in the UK by members of the National Trust is nothing short of magical and the views of Snowdonia from the wide flatlands of the Traeth Mawr reclaimed from the sea with the building of William Madocks' mile-long Cob embankment 200 years-ago are simply stunning. The railway also has stations at Beddgelert a magical centre of Welsh culture and Pont Croesor, right alongside the RSPB's Glaslyn Osprey Centre, before running through the streets of Porthmadog to connect up with the Ffestiniog Railway, the oldest independent railway company in the world, founded by Act of Parliament in 1832.
