Lovely little railway, friendly and helpful staff of whom are volunteers. If you visit Barmouth Ferry station there is a "Honesty Fridge" of cold drinks and a self service coffee manchine which is quite welcoming. The Model Railway layout is a must see which is built around a fish pond with a mock-waterfall.

Absolutely fabulous railway, The ticket was £15 all day rover, helpful friendly staff, cafes at both ends, 1st one hot drinks & sandwiches & lots of nice goodies, little railway in a seperate room. 2nd cafe same hot drinks & sandwiches, serves hot Pannies & chips absolutely delish. The drivers are so friendly. You can get the mainline train & stops at Fairbourne station & a 2 minute work. No loos at 1st station but there are toilets across the road & toilets at station 2. Also you can go on the ferry across the bay. Fab u lous little set up for all ages & doggy friendly 🥳🚂🥳🐾

A fun heritage railway, good for a couple hours activity. We got the ferry over to the headland from Barmouth, only took a few minutes. The journey was nice, good views and some interesting sections of track. At the Fairbourne end, there's a miniature railway you can look around, as well as cafe and a bit of history to read up on.

We visited during school half term. The train journey itself isn't really picturesque but it is a bit of a nice novelty for little ones. Carriages are quite small and not the most comfortable, but the trip isnt long so not really an issue. There was a little shop at the station and a cafe (not open when we visited on Sat) at the ferry stop. There are toilets at the ferry stop but these were locked on our outbound journey (open inbound). Walk down to the ferries could be tricky for some - you have to cross sandy dunes and then a rocky shoreline.

Totally worth it! The team had to put on an extra two carriages to fit everyone on due to a coach tour but didn’t affect the timings too much. Approx 20 mins ride each way with a short 5 second tunnel at the Fairbourne end. There is an option to get a ferry over to Barmouth and there is regular services back to Fairbourne and a couple of beaches at the Fairbourne station (with toilets & cafe).
