Itinerary
The ever popular North Wales destination of Llandudno is again hosting their annual Victorian Extravaganza & Transport Festival, and whilst not exactly Victorian, what better way to travel to the festival than on a train hauled by the pride of Tyseley, 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, and 4965 Rood Ashton Hall double headed.
With over five hours at our destination, the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza & Transport Festival offers a great opportunity to experience a huge selection of exhibits such as steam engines, early vehicles, traditional steam organs and much more. Whether you are an enthusiast or just have a casual interest, The Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza gives you the chance to step back in time to see, hear, smell and learn about The Victorian Era.
