Heathfield Station at the junction of two associated railway lines. The earlier line was the Moretonhampstead and South Devon Railway between Newton Abbot and Moretonhampstead which opened in 1866. The line became part of the South Devon Railway in 1872 and was absorbed into the Great Western Railway in 1877 and closing in 1964. The Teign Valley railway between Heathfield and Christow was opened in 1882 and extended to Exeter in 1903 as the Exeter, Teign Valley and Chagford Railway. It was absorbed into the Great Western Railway in 1923 and was closed in 1967. By 1906 the pottery works at Heathfield was connected to Heathfield Station by its own siding.
