Opened in 1866 by the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway, it was only being served by Wrexham-Bidston line trains when this image was taken. View south towards Gwersyllt and Wrexham.

Cefn-y-bedd railway station is located on the Borderlands line between Bidston and Wrexham and sees an hourly service throughout the day to both destinations.

Dist:0.1km<br/>View northward, towards Hawarden Bridge and Bidston: ex-GC (Wrexham, Mold & Connah's Quay), Seacombe - Bidston - Hawarden Bridge - Wrexham Central line. This line has, surprisingly, remained active both for passengers and freight. The train depicted is southbound from Shotton Steelworks, either with steel slabs or empty - [I'm not sure which!], double-headed by Class 37 Type 3 Diesel locomotives Nos. 37.696 and 37.241. Note the appalling state of the station shelter, with graffiti.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Taken from the public footpath in the corner of the field, the afternoon sun gives a warm glow to the trees that mark this old field boundary.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Taken directly into the low afternoon sun, the trio of trees on the brow of the hill throw long shadows as far as the gate and stile.

Dist:1.0km<br/>This old stone wall has seen better days, but still looks good in the afternoon sun contrasting with the green grass and in company with its specimen tree.

Dist:1.0km southwest<br/>This clump of trees, showing their autumn colours, seem to be disguising a prominent mound.

Dist:1.0km south<br/>Railway bridge at Sydallt which has been reduced to single lane traffic because of the weakened state of the bridge. This has been controlled by traffic lights for the last 9 years.
