Fairbourne, Wales LL38 2EX

The Fairbourne Railway is a historic seaside railway located in Fairbourne, Wales, that has been operating for over 100 years, connecting Fairbourne village to the mouth of the Mawddach Estuary. Originally starting as a horse-drawn tramway, it transitioned to a 15-inch gauge railway in 1916 and underwent complete reconstruction to a 12¼-inch gauge in 1986.

Reliant on a dedicated volunteer workforce, the railway offers various opportunities for individuals to contribute, whether through driving, guarding, or maintenance roles. The Fairbourne Railway is committed to preserving its historically significant locomotives, carriages, and buildings for future generations.
