Snowdon Sherpa - WHR + S97 Caernarfon

B E W A R E ....................... !!!

Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found
This is especially so at Beddgelert

The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the
Snowdon Sherpa Bus network
which connects with the
Welsh Highland Railway at Beddgelert

Please note the Welsh Highland Railway does not run every day
outside the main Summer period
You are strongly advised to first consult the official WHRly website to confirm the train(s)
you want are actually scheduled to run on the date of your proposed visit
then use the timetable below to find the times of the connecting Snowdon Sherpa bus(es)

Please note the Ffestiniog Railway does not run every day
outside the main Summer period
You are strongly advised to first consult the official FRly website to confirm the train(s)
you want are actually scheduled to run on the date of your proposed visit
then use the timetable below to find the times of the connecting Snowdon Sherpa bus(es)

This website also contains composite timetables of connecting Snowdon Sherpa services on a cross-Snowdonia route basis
where a change of bus is usually necessary --- hopefully it will help you plan your days out
It also includes some suggested "trips round Snowdonia - without your car"
