Ravenscar was a railway station at the highest point of the Scarborough & Whitby Railway. It opened on 16 July 1885, and served the village of Ravenscar. It closed on 8 March 1965. Ravenscar station was at the top of a steep 1 in 39 climb from both north and south directions (the climb south from Fyling Hall being 3 miles long). The 1956 Handbook of Stations listed Ravenscar as being able to handle general goods only and there was no crane at the yard. A camping coach was also in situe until the autumn of 1963.
Until 1 October 1897 the station was known simply as "Peak".
