Leaving the main line at South Brent, the Kingsbridge branch enjoyed a relatively short life. Opened in 1893, it was closed completely in 1963. The station and junction at South Brent are no more and the former course of the railway through the South Hams is less obvious today than on many other former branch lines. We took a short walk along a recognisable section next to the River Avon north of Loddiswell. The old station here has been restored as an impressive private house, complete with signalbox – now used as self-catering accommodation - and the former goods office.
