Dunsbear Halt was a relatively well-used halt[3] on the initially privately run[4] North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway. Opened in 1925 and closed to passenger traffic 40 years later in 1965[5]. The line remained open for freight between Barnstaple railway station and Meeth until 1982[6]. Today it forms part of the popular Tarka trail, and has recently been renovated by conservation volunteers[7].
