The Plynlimon and Hafan Tramway was a 2 foot 3 inch narrow gauge railway company in Cardiganshire, now Ceredigion, in Mid Wales, built to serve lead mines at Bwlch Glas and stone quarries around Hafan. It ran from Llanfihangel station on the Cambrian Line through the village of Tal-y-bont and the valley of the Afon Leri into the foothills of Plynlimon Fawr, a line just over seven miles long that served no community of more than 100 people. The tramway opened in 1897 and closed only two years later, in 1899, despite briefly carrying passengers as well as freight.
