Colyton

There’s something about Colyton that makes it stick in the memory; its typically Saxon circular street arrangement, winding lanes and historic buildings catch the eye, while its independent shops and heritage tram add an extra layer of charm.

The Seaton Tramway, a narrow gauge heritage tramway which links Colyton up with Seaton, runs through miles of unspoilt countryside along the River Axe, so it’s a fantastic way to experience the beauty of the area without having to walk for miles.

St Andrew’s Church, Oak Bark Tannery and Colyton Heritage Centre offer something for history buffs keen to find out more about the area’s traditions, while for those keen to explore, there are numerous walks in the area.
