Nothing beats a scenic train journey, whether it’s passing through breathtaking countryside or whizzing by tiny villages. With its impressive mountains and lush green valleys, Wales is home to more than its fair share of beautiful train journeys.
One of the most scenic Welsh railway journeys is the Heart of Wales line, starting in Llanelli in southwest Wales and going all the way to Craven Arms in Shropshire.

The first highlight comes as we pass the Loughor estuary. As someone who grew up in Carmarthen, I took the train journey between my hometown and Llanelli for granted as a youngster; it’s only when friends came with me that the beauty of the stretch which
