Blackmoor railway station

Blackmoor railway station, situated near to Blackmoor Gate at the western boundary of Exmoor National Park, England, was a station on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, a narrow gauge line that ran through Exmoor from Barnstaple to Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon.

[1] At a crossroads and coaching stage, the station was provided with a range of stables, since converted to human habitation.

The station building has been extended over the trackbed, in a sympathetic style, and is now a licensed restaurant.

A large livestock market was established across the road from the station, and it was originally envisaged by the promoters of the L&B that this would generate a healthy income.

North Devon farmers, however, preferred to drive their cattle to market across country, than pay to have them shipped by rail.
