Vale of Rheidol Railway
Description
A heritage railway that never actually closed, and the last place that British Rail ran steam trains right up until the day in 1989 when the railway was privatised. With a slightly odd history for a heritage railway it's still a stunning ride up into the hills of the Rheidol valley on this small narrow gauge steam railway. After an initial journey in land along the relative flat the trains then slowly start puffing up the hill to the top station at Devil's Bridge, some 660 feet above sea level. Along the way there are stunning views as the train clings to the side of the cliff, at places with almost a sheer drop on one side.
