Leominster and Kington Railway was one of four branches which served the Welsh Marches border town of Kington, Herefordshire.
Opened in August 1857, its peak was during World War II, when it served two US Army hospitals. Declining after the war due to competition from buses, it closed to passengers in 1955, and to freight from 1964.
Today, a 1-mile (1.6 km) section is preserved at Titley Junction railway station.
