Roughly a 15 minute drive away the lake and activities there will fill several days. Children would love it a great slate museum, lake activities, high wire, marked trails, train, boat hire and more.

Llanberis is a wonderful village with plenty to do! If you like adventure you can hire a Kayak or Paddleboard and enjoy the stunning Blue Lagoons. Walk up Snowdon (or catch the train for the relaxing option.

Scenic rides on a narrow-gauge steam train pulled by a vintage engine, 2.5 miles along the northern shore of Llyn Padarn

Our little steam engines take you on a five-mile return journey alongside Lake Padarn, right in the heart of Snowdonia. The journey takes you past the 13th century Dolbadarn Castle, across possibly Britain's shortest river and past Llanberis' twin lakes. From Llanberis the train runs non-stop through the Padarn Country Park, joining the 1845 slate railway route to run along the shores of Lake Padarn to Penllyn, and giving stunning views of Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales. There's a short stop at Cei Llydan, a beautifully tranquil place that's ideal for a lakeside picnic, and at Gilfach Ddu, where you can visit the National Slate Museum, watch the driver stoking the fire, the engine taking water, or spend some time in our gift shop and cafe. The five mile return trip takes around 60 minutes, and all advertised trains are scheduled to be hauled by one of our vintage steam engines rescued from the nearby Dinorwic slate quarries and lovingly restored. All our trains have wheelchair accommodation, but spaces are limited, so please let us know you are coming. Toilets, including disabled access, are situated nearby in the Country Park.
