Schools & Learning

In 2019 Seaton Tramway was awarded a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver our ‘Travels through Heritage and the Axe Valley’ project. The grant funding has enabled us to develop a brand new formal learning programme for schools and pre-schools.

Seaton Tramway has a fleet of 14 heritage-style trams that travel through three miles of beautiful East Devon countryside, passing through Seaton Wetlands and the Axe Estuary to Colyford and Colyton. A school visit to the Tramway includes a ride on a heritage-style tram, plus an educational workshop delivered by our experienced Learning and Activity team. Workshops include local history, geography, science, maths, art and English.
