By train

Rail services run through the Welsh regions - usually on highly scenic routes such as the Cambrian Coast , Conwy Valley and Heart of Wales. It's a big plus point. For pure pleasure, take a ride on some of our 14 narrow-gauge and steam railways many are members of the Great Little Trains of Wales.
