Brecon Mountain Railway
Pant Station, Merthyr Tydfil CF48 2UP
Description
Brecon Mountain Railway is one of the most popular railways in Wales. Travel in one of our all-weather observation coaches behind a vintage steam locomotive into the Brecon Beacons National Park along the full length of the Taf Fecan Reservoir to Dol-y-Gaer. The whole trip takes 65 minutes including a 20 minute stop at Pontsticill where you can visit the lakeside cafe, play area or go for a walk.
On your return to Pant, visit our workshops where old steam locomotives are repaired – follow the new footpath to a picnic site which has an amazing panoramic view of the valley. Visit our Licensed Tearooms and buy a souvenir of your visit in the shop. Free car and coach park.
