Llangollen Railway Trust Projects
Llangollen Railway Trust Ltd is a registered charity (1046614) and relies heavily on income from visitors and events. As a tourist attraction, we are crucial to the Llangollen area, attracting many thousands of visitors who contribute significant income annually to the local economy. The railway is also a highly significant heritage asset.
Beyond preserved railways, there is nothing comparable to Llangollen Station in terms of comprehensive survival. The limited number of such preserved sites in the UK means that Llangollen is rare and has a historic value of national significance. Our footbridge is of a unique design, it was originally installed by GWR as a variation on their standard structure in 1898 and particularly cantilevered over the River Dee.
We have many projects ranging from infrastructure and restoration, we have historic buildings to maintain and carriages to restore.
Please choose which project you would like to support, you will be directed to a fundraising page where you can find more information relating to that project.
