The original line was opened by the Rother Valley Railway between Rolvenden and Robertsbridge in 1900. At that time Rolvenden station was named Tenterden until the station up the hill was opened. The railway extended to Tenterden Town in 1903 and on to Headcorn in 1905, naming itself the Kent & East Sussex Railway in the process. The section from Tenterden Town to Headcorn closed in 1954 and Tenterden itself closed with the line in 1961.

Tenterdown Town station was reopened by the Kent & East Sussex Railway on 3rd February 1974 but the line only went as far as Rolvenden. The extension to Wittersham Road came in 1977, to Northiam in 1990 and to Bodiam in 2000.

As with most heritage lines, the station is immaculate and full of interest. More information about the railway can be found at LinkExternal link
