“According to Lonely Planet travel experts, the humble Swansea to Shrewsbury railway line in Wales has earned the title of "Europe's Best Train Ride."  … the Swansea to Shrewsbury line, known as the Heart of Wales Line (or Rheilffordd Calon Cymru), charms its passengers with an unassuming, pastoral journey through Wales' breathtaking hinterlands.

Stretching 121 miles, this single-track route meanders through Mid and West Wales, linking Swansea in the south to Shrewsbury in Shropshire. The train traverses 34 stations along its tracks, passes idyllic estuaries, lush forests, and rolling hills, and dips through quaint villages and historic spa towns.

The ride offers a spectrum of scenes, from the serene sands of South Wales' estuaries to rugged hillscapes and remote farming hamlets.”
