The Devon and Somerset Railway (D&SR) was a cross-country line that connected Barnstaple in Devon England to the network of the Bristol and Exeter Railway (B&ER) near Taunton. It was opened in stages between 1871 and 1873. Running through a rural area it never achieved great importance although it carried through services to the seaside resort of Ilfracombe for a period. The line closed in 1966.
