Littleham railway station is a closed railway station that served the small village of Littleham, just East of Exmouth in Devon, England. It was opened in 1903 on the Budleigh Salterton Railway, but was closed to passengers in 1967 due to the Beeching Axe.

History

The station was the penultimate station on the Budleigh Salterton Railway.

Passenger and freight services were withdrawn in the late sixties, with complete closure in 1967.[1]

Present State

The Station Master's house remains as a private dwelling, the rest having been built over by road and housing.
