Lovers' Lane Halt railway station was a minor railway station in North Devon or halt, situated close to the town of Appledore, a community lying on the peninsula formed by the sea (Barnstaple Bay), the River Torridge, and the River Taw.
The halt was opened in 1908 and the next station on the line was Appledore, the terminus of the line lying some 7½ miles from Bideford. The line had until 1901 run only as far as Northam.
Lovers' Lane had a simple single platform, raised one foot above rail level, without any shelter and without lighting. It had no freight facilities. It was at the road junction with the Mount (0.3 miles from Watertown) with steps running down towards the lifeboat station.
The trackbed from Appledore to Richmond Road Halt was converted into a road and the platform removed in the process.
