Discover the Vale of Rheidol Railway…

Experience the beauty of Mid Wales aboard the historic Vale of Rheidol Railway. Journey through stunning landscapes and enjoy a truly memorable day out.

Our Recent Open Day

Vale of Rheidol staff spent time chatting with visitors throughout the day. Team members joined each carriage and were available to answer questions – although the spectacular views often stole the show!
As Community Tourism Ambassador, I had the chance to meet new faces and reconnect with those I’ve worked with over the last twenty-five years. A real highlight was meeting all the property owners who joined us.

We’re planning a similar open day in March 2026, and we’d love to welcome as many property owners as possible.
