Welsh Highland railway

On the Welsh Highland Railway between Waunfawr and Rhyd Ddu. We stayed at the campsite at Waunfawr. The train stops at the site and there is a microbrewery pub there too. This is a fabulous campsite. There is also a bus into Caernarfon from the entrance.
We stayed in May in very good weather. Waunfawr is a great location;close to Snowdon and also to Caernarfon. The train travels from Caernarfon to Beddgelert and I think even further since we were there. It is planned to join up with the narrow gauge at Porthmadoc.
I would really recommend this campsite if you want peace and quiet, a pint in the evening and good wholesome food. Steam enthusiasts as well as others would not fail to be impressed by the visits of the trains to this site. It wasn't cheap but then none of the Snowdonia site are.
It was hard to find a dog friendly pub in Caernarfon though; the only one was The Angelsey Arms down at the side of the castle. From the train we saw a great looking site at the edge of the Lake
