About our partnership

The Talyllyn Railway is a narrow-gauge heritage line running between Tywyn and Nant Gwernol (Abergynolwyn). It was the world’s first preserved railway, fondly known as “The Railway with a Heart of Gold.”

In 2021, it partnered with Forest Carbon to help finance a new woodland in Northern Ireland, one of the least forested countries in Europe. The woodland was planted with a wide mix of native species to support local wildlife, enhance biodiversity, and capture carbon.

The project Talyllyn supported is called:
