Jervaulx railway station was a railway station that served the village of Jervaulx, North Yorkshire, England.

History

Opened by the Bedale and Leyburn Railway, it was taken over by the North Eastern Railway, which became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board.

The site today

Track still passes through the station site, providing rail access for the Wensleydale Railway which operates west from Leeming Bar.
