Avonwick railway station is a closed railway station situated in the village of Avonwick in Devon, England. It was the first station on the Kingsbridge branch line.
Originally planned by the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Railway, the station was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway before opening and this in turn was nationalised into British Railways on 1 January 1948. The station was closed by them.
The station is now a home with the platform canopy adapted as a conservatory. [1]
