Vale of Rheidol Railway

Nestled in the stunning Rheidol Valley and surrounded by the breathtaking Cambrian Mountains, a truly magical experience awaits you at the Vale of Rheidol Railway.

Journey 700 feet up from Aberystwyth to Devil’s Bridge, winding through the valley’s sharp curves and steep slopes, for the perfect view of the Rheidol Valley’s spectacular scenery.

Sit back and relax in your cozy carriage as you watch the landscape unfold around you. Travel through lush fields, serene woodlands, and rugged mountainsides as the train hugs the hillside and twists through the countryside. Feel the thrill of the narrow-gauge steam locomotive working hard on its climb, while you gaze up to see birds of prey soaring above.

Once at Devil’s Bridge, explore the village’s charming sites, including film locations, before hopping back on for the return trip—or linger a while and dive deeper into the beautiful Cambrian Mountains, making memories that will last a lifetime.

To make your journey even more special, consider upgrading to our plush First Class carriages, with comfortable armchairs and unique ceiling artwork by renowned wildlife artist Terrence Lambert.

Don’t miss our Engine Shed Display, showcasing engines from around the world, some on display for the first time in our newly restored engine shed. And look forward to the opening of our brand-new café at our Aberystwyth station in 2025!
