Seaton Tramway

Just about to undergo a refit in the Winter recess.

I agree! Having been on the Tram many times its well worth the ride and the views on a good day are fantastic.

Great way to visit the pubs on route to Colyton. Vintage tram is the dedicated driver.
Sham it doesn’t go all way up to Seaton Junction.
Enjoy.

What a pleasant surprise and enjoyable attraction. I expected a Blackpool sea-​front type thing over a short distance. Nothing like, takes 25 leisurely minutes each way, through delightful countryside and passes wetlands. There is a tram every 30 minutes so if you hit a busy time, just wait for the next one. If a coach party is booked, they put on a special tram.
Tip, join at the Colyton terminus, free car-​parking and a nice little café. Also the shop staff are very helpful.

Going for a trip on Seaton Tramway was quite thrilling. We could hop on and off with our ticket so we got off half way and went into a nice pub for some lunch. Then back on the tram for the rest of the round trip. Very cramped and although they say disabled friendly I found it hard to get on and off, best to wait for one of the bigger trams rather than trying to squash into a small one like I did. A nice day out. Plenty of free parking.

seaton tramway is a great way to see the views and you can ride on a the top of the tram which kids love. is a must do. the tram go’s at a nice steady speed not to fast or to slow. it has a to way track.

We parked in the public car park and you need about 4 or 5 hours on your parking ticket if not more.
If you go to the tourist information centre first you can pick up a leaflet with a discount coupon in it for the tram. The Toilets are just past the trams.
There are over 10 trams here and they have a few running each day back back and forth. The trams are quite small, one was really tiny so we waited for the next one. We went in summer and there was a tram about every 20 mins. so it was not too long to wait.
The trams run from Seaton to Colyton stopping at Colyford on the way were you can get off if you want but there is not a lot at Colyford only a pub really.
The route runs alongside and through a nature reserve in the Axe valley.
At Colyton there is a café at the terminus or you can walk in to the town (about 10min) where there are shops and pubs, this is why you need to allow plenty of parking time.
The drivers are really nice and tell you about the route and birds and animals that have recently been seen we saw green woodpeckers, herons and little egrets.
The jounry last about 25mins, you have to get off the tram at Colyton even if you are coming straight back whilst they turn the tram around.
There is a toilet at the terminus at Colyton if you need it.
I had never been on a tram before and this was really good fun they should be bought back to all towns.
