Nothing beats a scenic train journey, whether it’s passing through breathtaking countryside or whizzing by tiny villages. With its impressive mountains and lush green valleys, Wales is home to more than its fair share of beautiful train journeys.
One of the most scenic Welsh railway journeys is the Heart of Wales line, starting in Llanelli in southwest Wales and going all the way to Craven Arms in Shropshire. The Heart of Wales Line itself is more than 150 years old and stretches across 121 miles in total, taking in 28 stops along the way - some of which are by request.
It’s a spectacular journey, but the best part is it only costs £13 one way, so it won’t break the bank. Our colleague Robert Harries at WalesOnline decided to hop on board and experience this scenic railway journey for himself, here’s what he found out.
