Fairbourne steam railway

The Fairbourne Railway has been running from Fairbourne village for two miles to the mouth of the Mawddach Estuary, connecting with the ferry to Barmouth opening in 1895.
Originally built to carry building materials, the railway has carried holidaymakers for over a hundred years.
It started as a two foot gauge horse-drawn tramway which was then converted to a 15 inch gauge railway in 1916. The line in 1986 was completely re built to a 12 1⁄4 inch gauge.
