Overview

The scenic delights of this historic narrow gauge railway emerge from the clouds of steam that send the train on its way from Aberystwyth towards Devil's Bridge almost twelve miles away, the driver making sure to be filmed climbing aboard. Past Capel Bangor and Aberffrwd it climbs, through a lush landscape of mountains, waterfalls and meandering river, all looking their best on this sunny day.
