[1] The station was 6 miles and 34 chains from Monmouth Troy and was intended to improve the railway facilities at the nearby village of Raglan, which was the site a large castle[2] which provided a steady stream of tourist traffic.

[1] The station facilities consisted of little more than a single platform on the up side of the line, a small goods yard which included a little coal wharf and a cattle loading dock.

The station was made of red bricks and the design was typical of the GWR at the time, a low-pitched, roof and a small canopy which projected out towards the platform.

There were two wharves which were rented to local businesses, the largest of which was used for coal and was approximately 41 square yards, it was used by Messrs Davies, Jones & Clench Ltd.

[3] In 2009 the owners of the site, Monmouthshire County Council, proposed offering the station building to St Fagans National Museum of History.
