'''Hafod y Llyn''' is a [[railway halt|halt]] in North Wales on the [[Welsh Highland Railway]], located between {{Stnlnk|Beddgelert}} and {{Stnlnk|Pont Croesor}}. It had been a halt, with a siding for a period on the original [[Welsh Highland Railway|WHR]],<ref>{{Boyd-SCaerns1}}</ref> and a temporary terminus during the rebuilding of the line.
Originally, there was no plan for any construction here<ref>[[Chainage]] 26250 on the [http://web.bethere.co.uk/steven.harris/twa/std/map08.htm#p TWA Maps] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723044829/http://web.bethere.co.uk/steven.harris/twa/std/map08.htm#p |date=23 July 2011 }}</ref> on the rebuilding, with a new halt of the same name being planned 850 m <ref>Chainage 27100 on the [http://web.bethere.co.uk/steven.harris/twa/std/map08.htm#p TWA Maps] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723044829/http://web.bethere.co.uk/steven.harris/twa/std/map08.htm#p |date=23 July 2011 }}</ref> south of this location. However, being a convenient place for a loop during the rebuild, construction of a small platform (with no other facilities) was undertaken during 2009. For a short space of time it was to be called '''Hen Hafod''', but local representation convinced the idea to be dropped
The station opened to passenger traffic on 21 May 2009 and was the WHR's southern terminus. As the station has no parking or other passenger facilities, only self-sufficient walkers and cyclists could board or alight there.
