Once an important junction, Okehampton station now languishes in nostalgia with services suspended and an uncertain future. Opened in the 19th century, the station served Exeter, Bude, Padstow and Plymouth, as well as Meldon quarry. Suffering in the Beeching Cuts, Okehampton retained some trains thanks to the quarry freight, but eventually only heritage trains ran during the summer.

Now, the station lies quiet but is home to a youth hostel. It's on the edge on multiple hiking and cycling routes, and still draws visitors.

Ignore the out dated previous post. Okehampton station now has a regular train service and is an incredible gateway to some of the most accessible and stunning rides in the country (e.g. to Barnstaple and Plymouth) allowing you to complete your adventures by train. Don't miss.....
