Seaton Tramway

    There’s something fun about riding on these narrow heritage trams. You go through 3 miles of unspoilt countryside along the beautiful Axe Valley estuary and through two nature reserves.

    I’d recommend starting in Colyton (where you can find free parking) and then spend some time in Seaton where there’s a lot more option to eat, plus a beach, before catching the tram back.

    PS/ it is often windy on the tram (bring a jumper!).

    Address: Seaton Tramway, Harbour Rd, Seaton EX12 2WD

    Parking: see their website for various parking options

    Starts from Seaton & Colyton:

    Colyton: Station Rd, Kingsdon Hill, Colyton EX24 6HA

    Distance: 35min drive

        Lyme Regis Beach

          A big stretch of pebbly beach (ideal for throwing stones in the sea!).

          There’s a sandy beach zone to the right when looking out at sea.

          Lot’s of tourist shops, an arcade, pubs & restaurants.
