Corfe Mullen Halt was a station in the English county of Dorset. It was located between Bailey Gate and Broadstone stations on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. This section was built to enable trains to avoid the time-consuming reversal at Wimborne. The station consisted of a single platform and shelter lit by a solitary gas lamp.
It linked the stations of Bailey Gate and Broadstone, passing through the hamlet of Ashington, thereby bypassing Wimborne for trains from the Bath and Bristol direction and starting the long process of Wimborne’s decline as a railway centre.
