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.
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.
