A lovely steam railway running from Aberystwyth to Devils Bridge through the spectacular Rheidol Valley, with a cafe at Devils Bridge and time to have a look around if you want to catch next train back

A 10 mile trip in this little steam railway, views all along the way. See the falls at the other end. Lunch at Two Hoots Cafe or Hafod Hotel.

The Vale of Rheidol Railway is a 1 ft 11 ³⁄₄ in narrow gauge heritage railway in Ceredigion, Wales, between Aberystwyth and Devil's Bridge; a journey of 11 ³⁄₄ miles.
