Beautiful spot. Lovely little railway. At the time of visiting recently national grid are doing work in area and a considerable amount of the railway is closed due to the work but the train runs from country park to the cafe little ones would love it . Big car park just a short walk from it .. staff lovely the lake is stunning. Worth the visit

The railway was practically shut, you can only get to the next stop. There is nothing g really to see or do here. You're better off going to the castle and seeing the view! Maybe it'll be better once everything is properly opened next year!

Most beautiful journey takes you along the lake and back again from Llanberis, you can get off on the way back for 5 minutes, or even 15 minutes at the slate museum. Your tickets will still be valid on a later train if you want to get back on and the guard was really helpful and informative. Good wheelchair access if you need
· via Google
