Ilderton Station is located on the North Eastern Railway line from Alnwick to Cornhill. The station buildings on this line were built to the designs of William Bell in red sandstone. Somewhat extravagant in design for a rural railway, they feature half-hipped dormers, cross gables, decorated barge boards and wrought iron finials. The station is in use as a restaurant and has one or two railway relics adjacent. The signal box which stood on the station platform has been demolished.
The traders of Alnwick persuaded the NER to propose a line 'in a neglected part of the territory' from Alnwick to Wooler and thence to Cornhill. The schemes came before Parliament in 1881 and 1882 and the line opened in 1887. Passenger services were never very profitable. Closed to passengers 22 September 1930 and to goods 2 March 1953. (1)

A watching brief in 2004, during excavations for an underground electricity supply, revealed walls built of pink sandstone. They are believed to be associated with the old station buildings that stood here. (2)

Ilderton Railway Station constructed as part of the Alnwick to Cornhill railway line. The station is now a private house, having been for a short while a restaurant. (3)
