Seaton Tram - Colyford to Seaton
The Seaton Tramway is a 2ft gauge electric tramway in Devon, England, running a selection of vintage trams from the UK with the oldest being 105 years old.
It runs for approximately 3 miles along the Axe estuary, on the trackbed of the old Seaton branchline which was closed in the 60's, from Seaton to Colyton, with an intermediate stop at Colyford where it crosses the A352.
This video is a 'passengers eye view' of half of the run, slightly compressed to fit into Youtube's 10 minute schedule. The entire end-to-end trip is approximately 25 minutes, with half of it being alongside the River Axe, which is well known for its wildlife, and at low tide you will see many different varieties of bird on the mudflats.

Conducted Underground Tours
Our guides will take you on an hour long tour through the awe-inspiring caves with their mighty halls of vaulted roofs and pillars of Beer Stone which have been likened to a vast underground cathedral.
This vast man-made complex of underground caverns was created by centuries of quarrying the famous Beer Stone. The underground quarry, first worked by the Romans, supplied stone for 24 cathedrals including Exeter and St.Paul's, parts of Westminster Abbey,the Tower of London, Hampton Court and Windsor Castle. Quarried by hand, a small block weighing 4 tons, the stone was carted on horse-drawn wagons and by barges from Beer beach to its destination, sometimes involving journeys of several hundreds of miles. The quarry closed around 1920 as a new quarry opposite was opened. This closed in 2003, so there is no quarrying activity now.
Your Journey through Time
The entrance leads directly into the Roman section, which now houses a small museum containing pieces of Beer stone carved centuries ago by skilled masons, the tools used by the Quarrymen, copies of ancient documents and photographs. A late medieval Beer stone window forms the centrepiece of the museum. From this very chamber the Romans quarried the first blocks of Beer Stone to build their villas, leaving typical Roman arches and even their tool-marks are still visible on the walls. On through the Saxon part of the workings to where the Normans quarried stone for cathedrals, castles and Manor houses. You will then get to the modern era, where saws replaced pickaxe's as the main cutting out tool.
The sheer grandeur of the mighty halls, vaulted roofs and massive supporting pillars of natural stone are awe- inspiring and have often been likened to a vast underground cathedral. As you pass through you will be shown the charcoal signatures of the quarrymen who toiled here years ago and places where bats - mostly greater or lesser horseshoe hibernate during the winter months.

The Seaton Down Hoard has arrived at RAMM. With 22,888 Roman coins, it is by far the largest coin hoard found in Devon and the third largest ever found in Britain! The coins were found by a metal-detectorist in a field near Seaton in East Devon. They are now one of the most important parts of the museum’s archaeology collection.
Thank you to Patrick and Sally Long, Clinton Devon Estates, Devon County Council, Thomson Reuters and the hundreds of private donors who helped us buy the hoard.

Le Tramway Historique de Seaton dans le Devon(UK) longe l’estuaire de la rivière Axe donnant accès à deux réserves naturelles : le marais de Seaton et les terres de Colyford. On peut faire des parcours à ravir les ornithologues car l’observation des oiseaux est l’une des spécialités de ce Tramway sous la bienveillance et la direction des experts de Axe Vale & de la Société pour la Conservation des Terres qui connaissent bien l’estuaire.
Il y a à l’heure actuelle 14 voitures roulant sur un calibre de 838mm. Ce sont des engins à des échelles différentes variant de moitié au 2/3 - quelques-uns sont de grandeur normal mais modifiés pour rouler sur des rails de 838mm.
Une visite au Tramway de Seaton est une façon intéressante et distrayante de passer une journée avec beaucoup de choses à faire et à voir pour les petits comme les grands.
Les fans des Chemins de fer à voies étroites et des Streetcar devraient être intéressés car c’est une sortie pour tout le monde.
J’aimerais remercier John le conducteur de train et tout le personnel qui m’ont aidé à produire cette video car sans leur enthousiasme et assistance, ce projet n’aurait pas été possible.
Ah…si vous voulez un tuyau…achetez un billet pour la journée et arrivez de bonne heure car une fois que vous aurez fait le trajet aller-retour, vous serez tenté de renouveler l’expérience encore et encore…
Seaton Tramway runs beside the river Axe estuary giving access to two nature reserves, The Seaton Marshes and Colyford Common. Bird Watching trips being just one of the Seaton Electric Tramway’s specialities being run by experts from the Axe Vale & District Conservation Society who know the estuary well.
There are currently 14 Trams running to the gauge of 2ft. 9ins. (838mm). They are of different scales of vehicle varying from half scale to two thirds but also with a few at full size but modified to run on 2ft. 9ins.
A Seaton Tramway visit has long since matured into a thoroughly interesting day out, with plenty of interest for both the dedicated tram enthusiast and hobbyist while being simply just great with families and children.
Narrow Gauge Railway enthusiasts and Streetcar (that’s for our American Fans that are watching), should also consider a visit as it is a great day out for everyone!
I wish to thank John the Driver and all the staff that assisted me in the making of this video as without all their enthusiasm and help this video would simply not have been possible.
Oh! . . . Just a tip . . It’s worth buying the day ticket and getting there early, as when you have been up and down once, you just want to go again, and again . . .
