Tips from the Community
The Old Dairy Café, located next to the visitor centre, is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. It once served as a dairy for the estate, but nowadays you can enjoy a variety of hot and cold dishes. Local and Fairtrade products are used wherever possible and all cakes and treats are baked fresh daily by an in-house baker. With savoury snacks, delicious cakes, cream tea and local ice cream, there is something for everyone and always something new to try. (National Trust)

Nice station building featuring the fanous sign with the 58 character long name of the place, which is commonly used in one of its shorter forms. At the tourist trap on the other side of the parling lot is a translation into English, while the sign on the platform provides pronounciation guidance. Probably besides the Marquess of Anglesey's Column the only really highlight in this place.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch The name was coined by a Welshman after the railway line was established in the 19th century to entice tourists to disembark. It still attracts tourists today. Translated into English, the name roughly means: St. Mary at the White Hazel Pool next to the rapids and St. Tysilio Church near the red cave.
