A classic steam train will pass through the Herefordshire countryside next month on its way to Cardiff.
The Welsh Marches Express will pass through Herefordshire on Monday 14th February.
The Welsh Marches Express will cross the Cheshire Plain before passing through historic Shrewsbury to join the Welsh Marches line and at Church Stretton there are outstanding views of the Long Mynd, known in Victorian times as ‘Little Switzerland’ – continuing along the Marches, the Welsh Marches Express will then pass the magnificent Stokesay Castle and the historic towns of Ludlow and Hereford. Entering South Wales and the county of Monmouthshire there are superb views of the Brecon Beacons as the Black Mountains tower over the train. At Newport the train will cross the River Usk, before joining the Great Western main line to Cardiff for an afternoon break.
