Whitstone and Bridgerule was a railway station on the Bude Branch that closed in 1966. The station was opened in 1898 by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) when the line was extended from Holsworthy station to the new terminus of the line at Bude.
The station had been proposed for closure in the Beeching Report. The station sat inconveniently between the settlements of Bridgerule in Devon and Whitstone in Cornwall.
