The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum in Tywyn tells the story of narrow-gauge railways and their contribution to society, past and present. Inside you'll find locomotives including Hunslet's 'Rough Pup' and Beyer Peacock's 'Dot', along with a signalling collection, the Awdry Study and a Talyllyn Railway ticket collection. It's a good stop for railway enthusiasts and families curious about Wales's industrial heritage. The museum is based at Wharf Station in Tywyn, Gwynedd. Tywyn station is just 0.2 miles away, making it easy to reach by train, and Tywyn beach is a short 0.6-mile walk if you fancy combining your visit with some sea air. With 61 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's a convenient base for exploring the wider area.
