Llangollen Railway, Heritage railway in Denbighshire, Wales.
The railway stretches for 10 miles through the Dee Valley, following the river's course from Llangollen station to the terminus at Corwen.
Initial passenger services commenced in 1862 on the Great Western Railway route, connecting local communities until the Beeching cuts led to closure in 1965.
The railway preserves traditional methods of rail transportation with steam locomotives, vintage carriages, and Victorian-style station buildings in Great Western colors.
Trains operate from February to November with regular services, followed by special December runs including festive season journeys until Christmas Eve.
The line passes through a tunnel beneath the Berwyn Mountains and includes four reconstructed signal boxes that maintain traditional railway operations.
