Brecon Mountain Railway

The Brecon Mountain Railway is located just off the Heads of the Valleys trunk road, about 3 miles north of Merthyr Tydfil and 3.3 miles from the A470. The route of the line is approximately 5 miles long (8.0 km). The route begins at Pant Station and travels along a climbing gradient before joining the original line of the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Railway. Whilst travelling this route, passengers will witness a number of local landmarks. These include the gorge of the Taf Fechan river, in which an abandoned railway can be seen. Also a disused quarry, the dam of lower Pontsticill Reservoir and the original signal box and station house.
