Parracombe railway station was a halt on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, a narrow gauge line that ran through Exmoor from Barnstaple to Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon, England.
The village of Parracombe was the second largest intermediate settlement along the route of the railway, however its population was less than 400 souls.
There was local opposition to the line by one landowner, Mr. Charles Blackmore, of Court Place.
His younger brother Mr Henry Blackmore, the proprietor of the Fox and Goose Hotel was actively supportive.
