The station stood at the head of the spectacular Chelfham Viaduct, and served the village of Chelfham below. HistoryIt opened with the line on 11 May 1898, and closed with it after service on 29 September 1935. From 1923 until closure, the line was operated by the Southern Railway.[1] The new L&B railway bought Chelfham station in 2000 and the station site is currently undergoing restoration while the group operates the railway at Woody Bay as a tourist attraction. The weatherboard extension, originally built by the Southern Railway to house scales for weighing parcels, was damaged beyond repair by strong winds in 2006. {{clear}}{{Disused rail start}}{{rail line|previous=Snapper Halt|next=Bratton Fleming|route=Lynton & Barnstaple Railway(1898-1935)||col=66cc00}}{{end box}} References1. ^L T Catchpole: The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway 1895–1935 published by The Oakwood Press.
