• Brecon Mountain Railway
  "Mountain Railway"
  "A charming ride on a narrow gauge railway. It's short and sweet but beautiful scenery as it travels along the reservoir side. The Brecon Beacons in the distance are a stunning backdrop. The staff are friendly, the station stop en route has a cafe and children's play area amd lots of picnic tables. T..."he workshops are open for viewing too and there's a small model railway in the entrance way whilst waiting for a train. The obligatory gift shop at the end has some nice bits and pieces. A couple of hours spent very pleasantly. " More >

  "An unusual day out!"
  "We were lucky with good weather, which makes a difference to the views! This railway should probably be called the Brecon Hill Railway, as it doesn't really get up any mountains, but you can see some in the distance. The huge lake/reservoir on the journey is also very scenic and there is a conveni..."ently-placed small cafe there. The whole trip including a stop takes 65 minutes. The cafe at Pant station is just about OK, though Wales doesn't generally seem to produce many good cafes; it was a shame that my lettuce had seen better days and the food was rather stodgy. Also we had time to kill and hung around downstairs for some while before realising there was a workshop, model railway, shop, and short walk to a viewing point from upstairs!

The stop on the no 35 bus (every 15 minutes) route is easy to find (just look for the huge cemetery on the hill right after Pant village, an... " More >
• Brecon Mountain Railway
  "Short but enjoyable"
  "We had an enjoyable trip on the steam railway albeit a bit on the short side. The trip costs £11 per adult which we felt was a bit on the expensive side for such a short trip but was very enjoyable. The train is enclosed so is an all weather attraction and passes through some lovely scenery and past..." a vast reservoir where it stops for 20 minutes on its return. We went at the end of the day but if you went on an earlier train there are some lovely walks, where you could explore the area more and have a picnic. There are toilets and a cafe at the stop although a bit basic which serves ice creams, drinks, cakes etc. " More >
