Kenwith Castle Halt was a minor railway station or halt/request stop in North Devon, close to Bideford, serving the nearby castle of that name. It lay 1 mile and 75 chains from Bideford Quay.

This was to have been the site of the junction for a line running over ten miles to Clovelly.

Kenwith Castle Halt had platform or shelter and was sited at an ungated level crossing on the road to the castle; the gates had been removed in 1905. The line ran through a cutting at this point. No sidings or freight facilities were provided.

In January 1901, the first train, with one carriage, ran from Bideford to Northam carrying a few friends of the Directors.
