Seaton
Tramway is a true English folly. It started life in Llandudno,
moved to Eastbourne and was then transported lock, stock and barrel to
Seaton in 1970. A disused branch line linking Seaton on the
Devon coast with the villages of Colyford and Colton (below) up the
scenic Axe Valley (above middle), has become home to a varied
selection of trams both old and new. The track runs on narrow
gauge which means the trams are decidedley dinky. It attracts
tourists in the summer (left) and bird watchers (top) in the
winter and provide spectacular views of the River Axe. |
