Ashton Hall railway station was a private halt in Lancashire, England. Located on the Glasson Dock Branch, it was opened to serve Ashton Hall, the home of Lord Ashton, a local businessman. The house is now Lancaster Golf Club.
Opened by the London and North Western Railway, the station passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, only to be closed seven years later.
The trackbed through the former station is now part of the Lancashire Coastal Way [1]
