STEEPED IN HISTORY

North Devon Journal

July 10, 2025

This historic station house with an integral annexe, is set on the picturesque Tarka Line that runs between Exeter and Barnstaple.

Opened by the North Devon Railway in August 1854, Eggesford Station was built on permission from the Earl of Portsmouth with the understanding all trains would stop at the station. To this day, all trains stop at Eggesford on an hourly basis.

Built in a Tudor Gothic style, The Station House is Grade II listed and originally provided a station master’s residence as well as a ticket office, parcel store, waiting room and toilets.
