Glan Llyn Halt in Gwynedd, Wales, was on the Ruabon to Barmouth line on the south shore of Bala Lake. It was opened as Flag Station Halt in 1868, a private station built for Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn, 6th Baronet but which could be used by the public by his consent. It was officially advertised as Flag Station from 14 September 1931, gaining the 'Halt' suffix from 4 July 1938 and finally becoming Glan Llyn Halt on 25 September 1950. There was never a signal box, passing place nor freight facilities here.
