Helen's Bay railway station serves Helen's Bay in the townland of Ballygrot, County Down, Northern Ireland.[1]
The station in the grand Scottish Baronial style, built in 1863, was the creation of Lord Dufferin, through whose land the line was laid. His family had their own private entrance and waiting room. The architect was Benjamin Ferrey.
The next station on the line towards Bangor used to be Crawfordsburn, but this was closed in 1997.
