Castlebythe Halt railway station served the village of Puncheston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, from 1928 to 1937 on the North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway.

History

[edit]

The station opened on 24 September 1928 by the Great Western Railway. It was situated closer to Puncheston village than the original station was. It only had 85–90 passengers a week; thus it closed on 25 October 1937.[1][2]
