Seaton is a seaside town in Devon with two railways at its heart. The Seaton Tramway, rated 4.7 from over 4,000 reviews, runs along the coast and has become the main draw for visitors. The Beer Heights Light Railway, rated 4.8 from 23 reviews, offers a different kind of ride. Between them, these two attractions shape much of what brings people here, and they're the sort of thing that appeals across age groups—whether you're interested in vintage transport or simply want a gentle ride through the Devon landscape.
