King's Nympton railway station is a small Station on the Tarka Line 41 km (25¼ miles) north east of Exeter St David's Station on the way to Barnstaple . It serves a number of rural villages, including King's Nympton .

The station was opened as South Molton Road by the North Devon Railway on 1 August 1854 . Three years after Nationalisation , British Railways renamed it '''Kings Nympton''' in 1951 to avoid confusion with South Molton , which is much nearer South Molton , on the ex- Great Western Railway route from Taunton to Barnstaple .


SERVICE

Trains are infrequent, about three a day in each direction, and only stop on request. There are more frequent services from nearby Umberleigh to the North, or from Eggesford to the South.
