Castlerock railway station serves the villages of Castlerock, Articlave and their surrounding hamlets in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Walkers use the station to reach Mussenden Temple, Downhill Strand and Benone.

The station opened on 18 July 1853[1] and was built to a design by the architect Charles Lanyon. It comprised a single-storey red brick on the 'up' platform. There is a modern two storey addition to this in a similar style.[2]

Service

Mondays to Saturdays there is a two hourly service towards Londonderry or Belfast Central and Belfast Great Victoria Street operated by Northern Ireland Railways.
