Rheilffordd Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake Railway) is the home of the Quarry Hunslet locomotive and the Heritage Railway Association ‘Best Small Railway of 2012’. Running alongside the stunning Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) the Railway occupies the trackbed of the former standard-gauge Ruabon to Barmouth line of the Great Western Railway. Although there have been considerable changes, adapting the site to a narrow gauge railway, the character of the original standard gauge station buildings and signal box buildings remain.
Today our line runs from our base in the peaceful village of Llanuwchllyn, just off the A494, to the outskirts of the market town of Bala 4½ miles away. Llanuwchllyn Station has plenty of car parking, including for coaches, and of course a café/gift shop to welcome you.
