Thorpeness railway station served the seaside resort of Thorpeness in Suffolk, England.
It was opened in 1914 by the
Beeching Axe.[1]
As of 2023[update] the platform of the former station, now overgrown with vegetation, survives, just north of the B1353 road nearly a mile west of the coast. The trackbed is now a footpath.[2]
