Chipping Campden, or for most of its existence simply Campden, is a former railway station on the Cotswold Line, which served the town of Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire, England.

History

The Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway was opened in stages. The section between Evesham and Wolvercot Junction, to the north of Oxford, was opened on 4 June 1853; the station at Campden was opened at the same time and was named Mickleton. It was later renamed Campden and became Chipping Campden in February 1952. It closed on 3 January 1966.
