Bacton railway station was a station in the English county of Herefordshire. It was located on the Great Western Railway branch line linking Pontrilas and Hay-on-Wye. The area is known as the Golden Valley.

History

Opened by the Golden Valley Railway in 1881, the station closed and re-opened three times in the next twenty years, and lost the Bacton Road suffix. Becoming part of the Great Western Railway during the Grouping of 1923, it closed for the last time in 1941.
