This is the world famous Ffestiniog
Railway, with little steam-hauled narrow-guage trains which run along a 13½ mile main line in miniature from the coastline at Porthmadog into the mountains at Blaenau Ffestiniog. It climbs through tranquil pastures and forests, past lakes and waterfalls, round horseshoe bends and even round a complete spiral, sometimes clinging to the mountainside, sometimes tunnelling through it.

Clough Williams-Ellis built Portmeirion from 1925 to 1975 on his own private peninsula on the coast of Snowdonia in Wales. He wanted to show that 'the development of a naturally beautiful site need not lead to its defilement'. His lifelong concern was with Architecture, Landscape Design, the protection of Rural Wales and Conservation generally, and he strove at Portmeirion to give his ideas physical expression. Portmeirion is open all year round for both staying guests and day visitors alike.
