Country Park Halt

Country Park Halt

Country Park Halt is an unstaffed request stop on the Severn Valley Railway heritage line in Shropshire, situated near the west bank of the River Severn and a little to the north-east of the village of Highley.

The halt built in the 1990s as part of an initiative by Bridgnorth district council (who paid for it) to serve the Severn Valley Country Park, which is reached by a footbridge over the river and which leads to many country walks and picnic areas. The halt opened on 4 April 1996.

The halt has basically replaced Alveley Halt, which was axed in the 60s and not reopened by the SVR.

The halt is built on what was formerly the site of the "Alveley sidings", where coal from nearby mines was loaded onto freight trains.

It should be noted that there is no road access to Country Park Halt, and trains stop there only on request during hours of daylight.
