The River Alyn is a tributary of the Dee in north-east Wales, rising at the southern end of the Clwydian hills and flowing past Mold, Flintshire's county town. Cefn-y-Bedd, Caergwrle, Penyffordd and Buckley stations give train access to the riverside path.
There are 5 stations within reach of the Afon Alun: within 2 miles of it, or half a mile in towns.

There-and-back walks
No two stations share a walkable stretch of the Afon Alun, so these walks head out along the riverside path and come back to the same station. The distance is the longest the riverside path allows, up to 20 miles; turn round sooner for a shorter walk.
| Station | Out along the riverside path | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cefn-y-Bedd | 2.5 mi and back | 6 mi | about 2 hours |
| Caergwrle | 2.1 mi and back | 4.5 mi | about 1.5 hours |
