What visitors say
My mum and I decided this was the perfect hot day activity, lovely staff and beautiful views confirmed this. My mum has low mobility so we parked at Colyton station as this looked the easiest access and as far as I can tell had free parking (hopefully I don’t revive a ticket in the post). The trams are adorable and the views across the wetlands and estuary are lovely. We went on a weekday during the June 2026 heatwave and it was 👌

The town of Seaton itself is suffering the way many seaside towns are, with shop closures and a lack of investment. But Seaton Tramway is an absolute gem, and well worth a visit. A round trip is a little under an hour, but with stops at Seaton Wetlands and Colyford before termination at Colyton, the tramway can be used for a really good visit. Stop off at Wetlands and enjoy a walk around on a raised wooden platform, seeing tbe various water birds. It takes roughly 2 hours with stops and is flat and level. Colyford is small, but had a couple of decent pubs and an interesting tea and coffee rooms. Colyton is a fair walk from the terminus, but has a really nice cafe serving an excellent cream tea. I've not given too many 5 star reviews, but Seaton Tramway deserves one in my opinion. It is wheelchair accessible as long as you're using the downstairs part of the tram. Upstairs is open to the elements, but offers lovely views across the wetlands and the Axe Valley. I believe the wetlands are wheelchair accessible. Fido is welcome aboard. There is a large long stay carpark within about 200 metres.

Enjoyed our visit to the Seaton Tramway, taking in the scenery along the wetlands where the tram terminates at Colyton. Here is a lovely little coffee shop with hot and cold drinks and food and delicious homemade cakes! The trams run every 20minutes from the hour and we brought a day ticket meaning at certain stops you can get off, wander the wetlands, maybe have a picnic but be able to jump on the next tram that comes along! The volunteer drivers are very chipper and fill you in on sights and information about the trams and the history. Don’t forget to wave at the live stream to You Tube!!
