Chelfham railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chelfham was a station on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, a famously scenic narrow gauge line that ran through Exmoor from Barnstaple to Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon. The station stood at the head of the spectacular Chelfham Viaduct, and served the village of Chelfham below. It opened with the line on 7 March 1898, and closed with it after service on 29 September 1935. From 1923 until closure, the line was operated by the Southern Railway.
The L&B Project bought Chelfham station in 1996, and the station building is currently used for accommodation while the group rebuilds the railway as a tourist attraction.
