Llanberis Lake Railway

---

The Llanberis Lake Railway (Rheilffordd Llyn Padarn) is a 1ft 11½ in (597 mm) narrow gauge railway that runs for 2.5 miles (4 km) along the northern shore of Llyn Padarn in north Wales in the Snowdonia National Park. The starting point is the town of Llanberis at the eastern end of the lake with the western terminus at Pen Llyn in the Padarn Country Park. The Llanberis Lake Railway runs along part of the trackbed of the defunct Padarn Railway, a 4ft (1,219 mm) gauge line which connected the quarry with Y Felinheli (Port Dinorwic) on the Menai Strait. The Padarn Railway closed in October 1961. Also included here is the National Slate Museum, Llanberis.
