Railway History
The Quarryman's Trace
The Llanberis Lake Railway runs along the spectacular shores of Llyn Padarn in the heart of Snowdonia. It uses the trackbed of the historic Padarn Railway, which was a 4ft-gauge line built in 1843 to haul slate from the Dinorwic Quarry. Today, the line is a narrow-gauge experience using the very same small steam engines that served the quarry for nearly a century, offering a direct link to Wales' industrial past.
