Taking a train up a mountain

Adam heads to the stunning landscapes of Wales to ride the legendary Snowdon Mountain Railway – the highest railway ascent in England and Wales! Discover fascinating facts about this Victorian marvel, from its challenging construction in the 1890s to how it still chugs adventurers nearly five miles up Mount Snowdon. Experience a ride through Snowdonia's breathtaking scenery, find out how the railway makes the summit accessible for all, and learn about the mountain's mythical ties to King Arthur. Back at home, Bex introduces a fun and creative craft activity—a make-your-own mountain railway model! With simple materials like cardboard, paints, toy trains, and pebbles, you can bring the magic of the Snowdon railway to your living room. Step-by-step, Bex walks you through designing the scenery, laying out the tracks, and adding all the finishing touches so your train can "climb" the peak just like Adam's. Join Fun Kids Podcasts+:
