High Rocks Halt railway station is a station on the Spa Valley Railway in High Rocks, East Sussex, England.

High Rocks Halt opened on 1 June 1907 , as part of a London, Brighton and South Coast Railway scheme to boost traffic on its lines ^[1]. It finally closed on 5 May 1952 due to low traffic (it had been closed from 16 October 1939 to 15 June 1942 as a wartime economy measure). The rest of the line soldiered on with ever decreasing services, to be finally closed 10 August 1985 ^[1]. The line was re-opened by the "Spa Valley Railway" in 1996, with the new High Rocks station opening in August 1998 ^[1].
