[1] Dousland had a railway station on the branch line to Princetown that opened in 1883 and closed in 1956.

It was operated by the Great Western Railway until nationalisation took place.

The "Edwardian Lady" Edith Holden stayed regularly at Dousland between 1902 and 1910.

Edith became friendly with the Trathern family who lived in Belbert Cottage.

She frequently spent time on Yennadown with Berta and Bella Trathern.
