We then take a beautiful return journey on the Talyllyn Railway. The Talyllyn has been in continuous use since 1865, and in 1951 became the world’s first Heritage railway run by volunteers– including Rev. Audry who modelled some of the ‘Thomas the Tank Engines’ stories on it. It is unique because its original two locos and all the original coaches are all still in regular use. We ride behind historic steam locos in vintage carriages, from near the sea into the mountains. Before we get on the train we will be each given a picnic bag (special diets catered for) which is included in the price.

After the return journey on the Talyllyn, we return to Stafford by a different scenic route, with views of the Welsh coast and the beautiful Dyfi estuary.
