Name and dates

Valencia Harbour (1893-1960)

Opened on the Valentia Harbour Branch (Great Southern and Western Railway).

Description

Once the furthest west station in the British Isles, now closed. Also spelled Valentia Harbour, but 'Valencia' was used on the station name board. The harbour served the nearby Valentia Island. Plans to develop a port for America did not come to fruition and the railway remained a scenic low traffic branch.

Closed to goods and passengers 01/02/1960.

Much of the trackbed still exists, except at the station site, although a single goods building still exists.
