Constructed to haul coal and passengers, this railway has been restored by local volunteers, allowing you to catch a train 3.5 miles from the town center (Blaenavon High Level Station) to Furnace Sidings (near Big Pit) and then on to Whistle Halt, which at 396m is one of Britain's highest stations. Check online for running days and times, most of which involve restored steam locomotives.
At the time of research, Covid-19 restrictions meant that each separate group needs to book an entire train compartment, seating up to eight people (regardless of their group size).
