Berwyn railway station in Denbighshire, Wales, is a railway station on the former Ruabon to Barmouth line.
Opened in 1865, passenger services were suspended from 14 December 1964 following flood damage, and officially closed to passengers on Monday 18 January 1965. It has since been restored and reopened in 1986 as an intermediate station on the preserved Llangollen Railway.
Just to the west of Berywyn Station lies Berywn Tunnel, which at 689 yards (630 m) long presently makes it the third longest tunnel on a UK Heritage Railway.[citation needed]
The adjacent Llantysilio Chain Bridge crosses the River Dee, to link the local hotel which is next to the Shropshire Union Canal with the railway halt.
