Pont-y-Pant is a hamlet, if that, beside the River Lledr in Caernarfonshire, in the river's deep-cut valley, wooded, forbidding and gorgeous, all within Snowdonia. Pont-y-Pant consists of a scatter of cottages and a farm above the river along the A470 a mile and a half below the village of Dolwyddlan, and a railway station n the opposite bank.
The station is a single platform passenger station on the Conwy Valley Line from Llandudno Junction to Blaenau Ffestiniog, and here the line runs up through the Lledr Valley
The station is unstaffed halt and used as a request stop only. It is joined to the A470 main road and by a single bridge a quarter of a mile to the north of the station.
The station serves the few, isolated properties of Pont-y-Pant, and is also useful to walkers, owing to its proximity to a surviving section of the Sarn Helen Roman road, and to the nearby village of Dolwyddelan, for though the latter has its own station at Pentre Bont, the walk is a pretty one.
The 5-acre John Chorley Recreation Ground at Pont-y-Pant is a Queen Elizabeth II Field.
