Conway Marsh railway station (also known as Conway Morfa) was located about a mile north west of Conwy, Wales (Conway being the traditional English name for the town). Opened in 1895 by the London and North Western Railway,[1] it was served by what is now the North Wales Coast Line between Chester, Cheshire and Holyhead, Anglesey. The station ceased to be used in 1929 and has since been demolished.
Initially it served the Army training camp and rifle range on the Morfa,[2] later serving passenger traffic to the Gold Course.
