Where is this?
Could be part of a typical British occurrence:
That's Seaton in South West England. I can't find out where exactly this photo was taken, but I think that's where the Seaton Wetlands Halt is today. I found a very similar photo on DeviantArt that was taken in 2019, before the Wetlands Halt was finished. I also found a video on YouTube from 2019, and it looks like they pass this place around 11:30 (but they're going south, whereas this photo was taken by someone going north).
This article on britishtramsonline.co.uk has a photo that looks like it was taken in the same place. The text says that's Swan’s Nest Loop, but that's just the old name of Seaton Wetlands Halt, according to the website of the company that runs this tram.
Yes, this photo is taken in the wetlands before it crosses the Colyford road. Source: I have ridden this tram route more times than I would like to admit
It's okay, it's a lovely tram route and I'd love to ride it when I get the chance :3
There's a real variety of trams that they use on that line, some nice to ride than others. But if you can get down there outside the school holidays then absolutely get a chance. Pecorama is also just a short drive, bus, or very pretty walk over the cliffs in the next village, they have small steam trains that you can ride on too!
