Line 1:

'''Caffyns Halt railway station''' was a station on the [[Lynton and Barnstaple Railway]], a famously scenic [[narrow gauge]] line that ran through [[Exmoor]] from [[Barnstaple railway station | Barnstaple]] to [[Lynton]] and [[Lynmouth railway station | Lynton]] in North [[Devon]]. The station served a rural area on Exmoor, near the hamlet of Dean. It opened with the line on [[7 March]] [[1898]], and closed with it after service on [[29 September]] [[1935]]. From [[1923]] until closure, the line was operated by the [[Southern Railway]].

A volunteer group, the [http://www.lynton-rail.co.uk Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Co.], are now trying to rebuild the railway as a tourist attraction.
