About Vale of Rheidol Railway

to the Vale of Rheidol Railway, an iconic narrow gauge railway established in 1897, which first opened to the public on December 22, 1902.

After enduring various ownership changes and the challenges of the World Wars, the railway is now a charitable trust dedicated to the restoration and improvement of its historic locomotives, carriages, and tracks.

Experience the rich history, wildlife and breathtaking views from our heritage steam trains as they climb from Aberystwyth to 680ft above sea level, through the spectacular Rheidol Valley.
