You would never know it but this is where Budes railway station once stood. There is a clock and inscription on the wall of the nearest house. The station's closure in 1966 left residents of Bude and the surrounding area with Okehampton station, some 30 miles away, as their nearest connection to the railway. This increased to 69 miles in 1972 when Okehampton itself closed, leaving Exeter as the nearest railhead.
