Edwardian scenic steam railway taking visitors on a 12 mile journey between Aberystwyth and Devil's Bridge. Dog friendly. Regular services throughout the year.
Attended the Festival of Steam today and couldn't fault any of the staff that were on hand to make the day extremely memorable for the family. They had a lovely selection of steam trains/locomotives and the whole place was clean tidy and well looked after. It felt like a trip down memory lane and everyone played their part. I felt the customer service was excellent and that they went above and beyond to ensure we had a great visit. I would definitely recommend it to any young families looking for a day out and for anyone that wants to visit Devils Bridge and from a different perspective.
A pleasant trip up the Vale of Rheidol to the famous Punch Bowl and falls at Devils Bridge. Take a 45 minute walk to see the best of the falls at PS4 per person. Make sure you have shoes with good grips as the steps can be damp and a little slippery
We're not train lovers like some, but We loved the experience..seeing the views from a different angle and where cars cannot go. We sat in open carriage, I recommend you take sunglasses to protect your eyes from debris and soot, we stopped at Devils Bridge, had choice of 2 later trains to comeback on. This gave us time to see the waterfalls and time for lunch
I had a lovely train ride from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge x. The scenery at the beginning of the journey was not very scenic. However, when a little further along was spectacular. It was quite expensive but worth it. The staff were polite and helpful and were really lovely x
We were disappointed by the poor views from the train they were often blocked by the trees and bushes growing along the tracks. We also the price was expensive. If you want to go to the Devil's Bridge, I would recommend driving . Or going up on 1 train and getting a later 1 back as 1 hour at the top isn't long enough to do the Devil's bridge
We didn't catch the train but paid PS5 to look around the museum which was very good. We did time our visit to watch a steam train departing though. What we really noticed, having visited a number of heritage railways, was how clean and tidy everything was. No rusty bits and pieces lying about.
