Cynghordy railway station (Шаблон:Pronunciation) serves the rural community of Cynghordy near Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, Wales. The station is on the Heart of Wales Line Шаблон:Convert north east of Swansea and is located at street level at the end of a gravel track off a lane that is just off the main A483 road.

After departing this station heading northbound, the train crosses the Cynghordy Viaduct where panoramic views of the surrounding countryside can be seen. The grade II* listed 18-arch viaduct carries the route across the Afon Bran valley on a gentle curve - it is Шаблон:Convert high and Шаблон:Convert long and was built from sandstone and brick between 1867 and 1868.[1] The viaduct is visible, using good binoculars, from the highest Black Mountain ridges.

Facilities

The station had no facilities whatsoever for many years but a shelter has recently been provided along with a customer help point and CIS screen.[2]

Services

All trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales (who also manage it).
