Walks and Places to Visit

Dolgoch Falls, three sets of waterfalls in a beautiful wooded ravine, are served by Dolgoch station and many passengers alight here before rejoining the train later in the day (train service permitting). There are also extensive forest walks in the Nant Gwernol ravine.

Various individual walks leaflets are available from the Railway Shop at 40p each.

Other local places of interest include Talyllyn Lake (3 miles beyond Abergynolwyn), Castell y Bere (a ruined 13th Century Welsh castle) and Mary Jones' cottage at Llanfihangel-y-Pennant and, for the energetic mountaineer, Cader Idris.
