Riding the Vale of Rheidol (Cymru / Wales, United Kingdom)
A trip on the Vale of Rheidol Railway (Rheilffordd Cwm Rheidol) in mid-Wales, in September.
The railway runs between Aberystwyth and Devil's Bridge, a distance of 18.9 kilometres, following the River Rheidol, hence the name. It is built to a narrow gauge, and until 1989 was operated by British Railways (for historic reasons: it had previously been owned by Cambrian Railways, who were absorbed into the Great Western, and so on).
