The Seaton Tramway is an 2 ft 9 in (838 mm) narrow gauge electric tramway which operates over part of the route of a former London & South Western Railway branch line to Seaton, Devon. The line was converted between 1969 and 1971 by Claude Lane, who had bought the line from British Rail and had successfully operated trams in Eastbourne as a visitor attraction.

Deceleration pure - done with love. A ride (3 miles, 23 minutes each way, every 20 minutes) on the tram from Seaton to Colyton is an experience. This starts with the tram guides and "station masters", who are seen to have kept the dream of every little boy in their hearts and made them their profession. In the small carts you can sit up in good weather and drive "open air" and enjoy the view of the landscape. At both end stations there is a cafe.
And as a good hiker you can hike the route back then - or just enjoy the great experience of the ride on the tram.

The three-mile route runs through East Devon's glorious Axe Valley, between the coastal resort of Seaton, the small village of Colyford and the ancient town of Colyton. The journey takes half an hour from end to end. You must alight from the tram on arrival but may return on any tram thereafter.
