The Cambrian Line (Welsh: Rheilffordd y Cambrian) is a railway line that runs from Shrewsbury, England to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli, Wales. The section to Pwllheli is known as the Cambrian Coast Line and leaves what is sometimes known as the Cambrian Main Line (from Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth) at Dovey Junction.
It is a very scenic route. It runs through the Cambrian Mountains in central Wales and along the coast of Cardigan Bay.
