Description
Situated in the beautiful rolling hill country of Montgomeryshire, this 9-mile narrow-gauge railway opened in 1903 to link Welshpool with Llanfair Caereinion. Passenger trains ceased in 1931 and BR closed the line in 1956, but thanks to a preservation society, this unspoiled line winds its way through the countryside to Llanfair.
