Alt-y-Graig railway station (sometimes spellt Allt-y-Craig) was the penultimate stop on Dyserth branch line (now a footpath). Like Woodland Park railway station passengers would have had to access the station from a hill. The only piece of railway history that remains here is the bridge that people now walk on.
The branch line to Dyserth was opened by the LNWR in 1869, initially for mineral traffic only. A passenger service was instituted in 1905 but lasted only until 1930, when it was withdrawn by the LMS. The line remained open to serve a quarry at Dyserth until complete closure in 1973.
