Derry Ormond railway station served the hamlet and rural locale of Betws Bledrws near Llangybi, as well as the mansion and estate of Derry Ormond (demolished in 1953) on the Carmarthen Aberystwyth Line in the Welsh county of Ceredigion. Opened in 1867 as Bettws, it was renamed in July 1874 in honour of the local estate, owned by the influential Jones, later Inglis-Jones, family.[3]
