Colyton:
The Tramway uses the original branch line railway station built in 1868. This now houses the well-stocked shop, which has a wide range of tram-related souvenirs and unique gifts to suit all budgets. Next door is the Tram Stop Restaurant, offering an extensive menu of hot meals and snacks. For more information please call 01297 552094. From Colyton Tram Terminus you can experience a relaxing waggon ride pulled by our handsome rare breed Suffolk Punches. For more information please call Sylvia Voysey on 01297 553290. The town centre is a short ten-minute walk from the station. The winding streets, pretty walks, enticing shops and amiable pubs tipify Colyton's unspoilt charm. Notable sights include the 12th century St Andrew's Church, with its unusual lantern tower, Colyton Antiques Centre and the country's last Oak Bark Tannery. Some shops observe half-day closing on Wednesday afternoon. A Tourist Information Point is housed within John Wood & Co in the Market Place. Colyton Station postcode EX24 6HA.
Colyford:
The terminus is next to the White Hart Inn. A Royal Borough since the reign of King John in the 13th century, Colyford has its own Mayor and holds a Goose Fair in September each year. TE Lawrence "of Arabia" was a regular customer at the old filling station prior to his fatal motorcycle crash in 1935, and the building now houses a motor museum. Trams often run full from Seaton and Colyton in the summer peak, so delays in boarding may be experienced at Colyford.
Seaton:
The impressive Tramway Terminus is close to the town centre and the beach, which stretches a mile in length from Seaton Chine to Axmouth Harbour. Some shops observe half day closing on Thursday and Saturday afternoons. The Tramway Terminus is also next to the Tourist Information Center, which has full details about the town and the Axe Valley area. Tel (01297) 21660. Seaton Terminus postcode EX12 2NQ.
