Carnarvon Castle railway station was opened in 1856 by the narrow gauge Nantlle Railway near the foot of what is today the Allt Y Castell which slopes down to Caernarfon's harbour area.[4] It was the line's northern terminus and was the closest of Caernarfon's ultimately five stations to the historic town centre.[5][6]
