Railway station in Kent, Englandthe station in Devon

The station is located almost two miles from Appledore village and south of , on the B2080, a local road. Owing to its distance from the village, it is in the Parish of Kenardington, not Appledore. Appledore is just north of a junction of a freight branch line running to Dungeness nuclear power station via Lydd. Appledore is also the start of the single track section of the Marshlink line, which runs through to Ore near Hastings with a passing loop at Rye. Along with several other stations on the line, the platforms are staggered.

The station was first proposed by the South Eastern Railway (SER) in June 1848 as a stop on the Ashford to Hastings line. That September, hop planters near Appledore petitioned the early construction of the line to help with harvest; however a formal decision to build a station was not taken until June 1850. The station was designed, along with others along the line, by William Tress. The main building was built in an Italianate style with red brick with a Welsh slate roof. Appledore ceased to be a junction station for passengers when the branch line to Lydd and New Romney closed in 1967. However, it continued to be used for goods traffic to Dungeness. When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the Privatisation of British Railways. In 2001, the station building and goods shed were Grade II listed. The main building is in good condition and has been largely unaltered since its original 1851 construction.
