Walcha Road is a village with a population of around 20, located 19 kilometres west of Walcha in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia.

The railway through Walcha Road from Sydney to Uralla was completed in 1882. Based on the Armidale train line, Walcha Road served as the train stop for the Walcha district and as such carried a large volume of goods such as superphosphate, wool and livestock. During 1911 there were 8,748 bales of wool transported from here to Sydney. Livestock and goods are no longer carried and the necessary yards and sheds have been removed. Up until 1914, the trip to Walcha took about two hours by horses and a coach. Later a bus service operated along this route.

The village now consists of a small number of homes, along with a one man police station and the historic Walcha Road Hotel (Royal)

In November 2004, the Hotel was gutted by fire, with just a few rooms downstairs, and the far end of the bar left standing.

During the re-building, an old Dining Car was installed on a set of rail lines specially placed adjacent to the Hotel building. The Dining Car was converted to a makeshift Bar for several years until the Hotel itself re-opened on the anniversary of the Fire in 2007.

The new building houses better facilities inside and out, with a new larger bar, verandahs off the back, larger function room upstairs (replacing what was accommodation and lounge rooms), and a new state of the art kitchen and bakery facility.
