Discover the timeless appeal of our narrow-gauge steam trains - a more leisurely way to travel and the perfect way to savour the grandeur of Snowdonia.

Starting at Gilfach Ddu, the journey takes you past the 13th century Dolbadarn Castle, crossing possibly Britain's shortest river and passing Llanberis' twin lakes as the train negotiates the extension (opened in 2003) to Llanberis village. From here 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.

On its return, the train makes a short stop at Cei Llydan, an ideal place for a lakeside picnic, before arriving back at Gilfach Ddu. Here you can watch the driver stoking the fire, the engine taking water, or spend some time visiting 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.

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.

Dewch i ddarganfod apêl bythol ein trenau bychain - ffordd fwy hamddenol o deithio, a ffordd ddelfrydol i fwynhau harddwch Eryri.

Yn cychwyn o orsaf Gilfach Ddu, mae'r daith yn eich tywys heibio castell Dolbadarn ar draws, o bosib, yr afon fyraf ym Mhrydain a rhwng dau lyn Llanberis wrth i'r drên deithio ar hyd yr estyniad (â agorwyd yn 2003) i bentref Llanberis. Oddi yno aiff y drên yn syth drwy Barc Gwledig Padarn, gan ymuno â'r hen lein llechi o 1845 i redeg ar hyd glan Llyn Padarn i Benllyn, ble gwelir rai o'r golygfeydd gorau o'r Wyddfa.

Ar y ffordd yn ôl mae'r tren yn aros am gyfnod byr yng Nghei Llydan, lle delfrydol am bicnic ger y llyn, cyn dychwelyd i Gilfach Ddu. Yma gallwch astudio'r gyrrwyr yn llwytho'r tân, yr injan yn cymryd dŵr, neu ymweld â siop a chaffi'r orsaf.

Cymer y daith gyfan o bum milltir tua 60 minud, ac mae bob un o'r trenau yn cael eu tynnu gan injan stem hanesyddol â gaffodd eu achyb o chwareli Dinorwig.

Mae'r trenau i gyd yn addas i gadeiriau olwyn, ond mae nifer cyfyngedig o lefydd, felly mae'n well i chi gysylltu gyda ni ymlaen llaw i drefnu lle. Lleolir toiledau, gyda mynediad i'r anabl, o fewn Parc Padarn.
