Colwyn Bay Station

An incredibly picturesque journey brings you to Colwyn Bay station, as the North Wales Main Line follows the coastline for long stretches of its route between Crewe and Holyhead. Arriving doesn’t disappoint either, with wide-spanning views of beaches stretching in either direction and the Irish Sea just beyond.

If you’re willing to continue the journey, you’ll find Rhos-on-Sea with its 6th-century St Trillo chapel a short bus trip along the promenade, and Penrhyn Bay is just beyond the headland. Colwyn Bay station is also the closest train station to the Welsh Mountain zoo, one of North Wale’s top attractions.
