Northwood Halt is a request stop located between Bewdley and Arley, immediately adjacent to the level crossing at Hill Farm, Northwood Lane
Access to the halt is via a short footpath from the level crossing. there is no car parking nearby.
The platform is on the East side of the railway with a small pagoda shelter and a view across the River Severn of the Wyre Forest.
As there is no lighting on the platform, trains will only stop during daylight hours.

The halt was originally opened by the GWR in 1935, and closed with the withdrawal of passenger services north of Bewdley in 1963. It reopened with the SVR extension to Bewdley in 1974. In 2006 the halt's wooden shelter was replaced with an award-winning GWR-style corrugated iron 'pagoda' shelter. This was constructed by the "Friends of Kidderminster Town Station" and transported to Northwood by rail.
