The Ffestiniog Railway takes you on a 13 1/2-mile journey from the harbour in Porthmadog to the slate-quarrying town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. We are recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest railway company in the world, being founded in 1832. We still build steam locomotives and carriages in our own workshops and the world's oldest steam engine, Prince, is still in regular use today - more than 150 years after it was built. Our historic trains climb over 700 feet from sea level into the mountains through tranquil pastures and magnificent forests, past lakes and waterfalls, round horseshoe bends (even a complete spiral) clinging to the side of the mountain or tunnelling through it. The Welsh Highland is Snowdonia's newest railway. Trains start their spectacular 25 mile scenic journey from beneath the historic castle walls at Caernarfon. The trains - hauled by the world's most powerful narrow gauge steam locomotives - climb from sea level to over 650 feet on the foothills of Snowdon, before zig-zagging dramatically down the steep hillside to reach Beddgelert, nestling in the heart of the National Park, then through the magnificent Aberglaslyn Pass - voted the most beautiful spot in the UK by the National Trust - and on to Porthmadog.

Visiting family in Pwllheli, a visit to the Purple Moose shop was an obvious choice. I have long been a fan of Dark Side of the Moose and a mixed case of Dark Side and Ysgawen will keep me going for a while! The staff in the shop are extremely helpful and the selection of merchandise is wide ranging. I’ll definitely be back again when next in North Wales.

We first visited Spooners in August last year during our short stay in Porthmadog, we went for our evening meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good and the service was good with an excellent choice of local craft beer available at the bar. We enjoyed our meal so much that we decided to return the following day for breakfast, again we had excellent food and service. We returned again last week and just popped in for a pot of tea mid afternoon, as it was out of main holiday season the place was quiet but staff friendly and place warm and clean.
