Dwyrain Corwen / Corwen East station

The suffix "East" does not imply the existence of two stations in Corwen - there never was more than one railway station in the town, and never will be. But the original GWR station closed in 1964.

The Llangollen Railway reopened an extension from Carrog to Corwen on 1 March 2015, using a temporary wooden platform to the east of the original station, hence the suffix. As of 2017, work was progressing on a permanent, two-platform terminus station closer to the original station site, with a new signalbox.

Afon Dyfrdwy - The River Dee

The Afon Dyfrdwy (The River Dee) is a sixty-eight mile long river which rises at Llanuwchllyn in Snowdonia. The river travels in a south-easterly direction, making its way across the border into England. It then changes course to a northerly direction towards its estuary, between North Wales and The Wirral Peninsula in England. It drains into Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea.

The River Dee's course takes it through the Welsh towns of Berwyn, Corwen, Llangollen, Wrexham and Connah's Quay, the English town of Farndon and the English city of Chester. At Wrexham the river is a natural border between Wales and England. At Connah’s Quay the river becomes tidal for the last sixteen miles.
