Wolferton was a railway station on the Lynn and Hunstanton Railway line which opened in 1862 to serve the village of Wolferton in Norfolk, England. The station was also well known as the nearest station to Sandringham House, and royal trains brought the royal family to and from their estate until the station's closure in 1969.
After spending some time as a museum, the station is now preserved in private hands. The signal box and part of the station are listed buildings, Grade II*.[2]
