====Railways==== [[File:Snowdonia national park (50620241681).jpg|thumb|500px|[[Pen-y-Pass]], Snowdonia national park road]] *The double track [[North Wales Coast Line]] passes along the northern boundary of the park between Conwy and Bangor, briefly entering it at {{lang|cy|italic=no|Penmaen-bach}} Point, where it is in a tunnel. Stations serve the communities of [[Conwy railway station|Conwy]], [[Penmaenmawr railway station|Penmaenmawr]], [[Llanfairfechan railway station|Llanfairfechan]] and [[Bangor railway station (Wales)|Bangor]]. *The single-track [[Conwy Valley Line]] runs south from [[Llandudno Junction railway station|Llandudno Junction]], and enters the park north of Betws-y-coed, which is served by a station, then continues west up the Lledr valley by way of further stations at [[Pont-y-Pant railway station|Pont-y-pant]], [[Dolwyddelan railway station|Dolwyddelan]] and [[Roman Bridge railway station|Roman Bridge]]. After passing through a tunnel, the passenger line now terminates at [[Blaenau Ffestiniog railway station]], where it connects with the [[Ffestiniog Railway]]. :Before 1961 the route continued as the [[Bala and Ffestiniog Railway]] via Trawsfynydd to Bala, joining another [[Ruabon-Barmouth line|former route]] along the Dee valley which ran southwest via Dolgellau to join the still extant coastal [[Cambrian Line]] south of Barmouth. *The Pwllheli branch of the Cambrian Line splits from the Aberystwyth branch at [[Dovey Junction railway station|Dovey Junction]] and continues northwards via stations at [[Aberdovey railway station|Aberdovey]], [[Tywyn railway station|Tywyn]], [[Tonfanau railway station|Tonfanau]], [[Llwyngwril railway station|Llwyngwril]], [[Fairbourne railway station|Fairbourne]] and [[Morfa Mawddach railway station|Morfa Mawddach]] to [[Barmouth railway station|Barmouth]] where it crosses the Mawddach estuary by the Grade II* listed wooden [[Barmouth Bridge]], a structure which also provides for walkers and cyclists. Continuing northwards, further stations serve [[Llanaber railway station|Llanaber]], [[Talybont railway station|Tal-y-bont]], [[Dyffryn Ardudwy railway station|Dyffryn Ardudwy]], [[Llanbedr railway station|Llanbedr]], [[Pensarn railway station|Pensarn]] and [[Llandanwg railway station|Llandanwg]] before reaching [[Harlech railway station|Harlech]]. [[Tygwyn railway station|Tygwyn]], [[Talsarnau railway station|Talsarnau]] and [[Llandecwyn railway station|Llandecwyn]] stations are the last before the line exits the park as it crosses the Dwyryd estuary via [[Pont Briwet]] and turns westwards bound for Pwllheli via Penrhyndeudraeth, Porthmadog and Criccieth. Many sections of dismantled railway are now used by walking and cycling routes and are described elsewhere. The [[Bala Lake Railway]] is a heritage railway which has been established along a section of the former mainline route between Bala and Llanuwchllyn. Other heritage railways occupy sections of former mineral lines, often narrow gauge and are described in a separate section.
