Quick Details
Take your railway adventure to new heights – literally!
Step aboard our historic caboose and ride in the cupola, a raised lookout above the guard’s van, offering unbeatable panoramic views over the Brecon Beacons. This exclusive vantage point puts you right in the heart of the action, as you watch the steam locomotive work its way up one of the steepest gradients on any heritage railway in the UK.
Whether you’re a railway enthusiast or just love a unique day out, the Cupola Experience offers a new perspective – and a healthy dose of nostalgia – as you journey ten scenic miles through mountains, forests and reservoirs.
