Seaton Tramway is a heritage attraction that offers visitors a journey back in time with its narrow guage tramcars, stunning coastal views, and charming seaside towns. The tramway provides a unique mode of transportation, allowing visitors to explore the stunning Axe Valley at a leisurely pace. 

Seaton Tramway is a popular attraction for visitors of all ages carrying over 90’000 passengers a year, and offers a variety of activities, including Birdwatching trams, tram driving lessons and fantastic interactive family events throughout the year. The attraction is dedicated to providing an enjoyable and educational experience for all visitors and is committed to preserving the natural beauty of the area for generations to come. 

For the past 53 years Seaton Tramway has been running from Harbour Road in Seaton for three miles inland through Colyford to Colyton, much of it along the former Seaton to Seaton Junction branch line between the River Axe and the Axe Estuary Wetlands.  

These awards follow the success of 2022, where Seaton Tramway won Silver in both ‘Large Attraction of the Year’ and ‘Accessible and Inclusive Tourism’, as well as ‘Outstanding Attraction of the Year’ at the Heritage Railway Association awards.
