Llanbedrgoch railway station was situated on the Red Wharf Bay branch line between Holland Arms railway station and Benllech, the penultimate station on the line off the main Anglesey Central Railway in Wales. Opening in 1909, it was a very simple station with only one short platform on the Up (east) side and a wooden waiting hut. It was an unstaffed request stop with no goods yard or sidings.[2]

The station closed in 1930, as did the line itself for passenger trains, and the station building removed. The tracks themselves were taken up in 1953 and the location of the platform is now a caravan site.[3]
