Historic railways named the best attraction in Wales as £5m revamp is completed
HUGELY popular and historic railways in North Wales have been honoured by tourism bosses.
The Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways (FFWHR) have recently been awarded for “Best Attraction” in Wales for 2025 by Visit Wales.
The Railway is also celebrating the completion of a £5m project thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Building on the inscription of The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales World Heritage Site, of which the railway is part, the Heritage Fund project set out to refresh this anchor attraction in North Wales, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this summer.
The project included major works to revive the historic buildings at the railways works at Boston Lodge. These are the oldest railway works in the world still fulfilling their original function and have built locomotives in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
A multi-faceted project, the Heritage Fund support enabled the railway to completely refresh the way it is interpreted for the 200,000 visitors that come in to contact with the railway each year.
