A walking route in Wales featuring the historic Cwm Prysor Viaduct has been praised for its 'incredible' views of mountains and a former railway line. The Grade II listed viaduct, built in 1882, once carried the Bala and Festiniog Railway 105 feet above the Afon Prysor before its closure in 1961.
Located within Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), the trail follows a section of the old railway, offering panoramic views of the Prysor Valley and surrounding mountain ranges, including the Rhinog Fawr. The viaduct itself spans 150 yards with nine imposing arches made of stone and brick.
Digital creator Stephen shared a video of the route on Instagram, describing it as 'epic' and highlighting its relatively flat terrain, though he noted it can be boggy and advised walkers to wear appropriate footwear. The walk is considered moderately easy but long.
Fellow Instagram users responded enthusiastically, with comments such as 'This looks amazing' and 'Adding it to my list'. The route is available on AllTrails under the name 'Cwm Prysor Viaduct and the Bala and Festiniog Railway'.
