Carrog is a village in Denbighshire, Wales. Formerly referred to as Llansanffraid-Glyn Dyfrdwy, as it lies within the parish of Llansanffraid Glyndyfrdwy,[1] it takes its modern name from the Great Western Railway station on the opposite bank of the River Dee, which in turn took its name (possibly to avoid confusion with the adjacent Glyn Dyfrdwy station and that in Llansanffraid Glan Conwy) from the Carrog estate on that bank.
Carrog Station is now part of the Llangollen Railway and is currently one end of the line, until the extension to Bonwm is opened. One notable resident is Peredur Lynch who graduated from Bangor University to become an academical literate. Carrog has one primary school, Ysgol Carrog which is over 100 years old.
