Hovingham Spa railway station was located just north of the village of Hovingham in the Ryedale area of North Yorkshire, England and opened in 1853.[2] Regular passenger service ceased in 1931 but freight traffic and occasional special passenger trains continued until complete closure on 10 August 1964.
It was part of the Thirsk and Malton (T&M) rail route, which paralleled today's B1257 road from Hovingham to Malton.
