Two miles inland. The nearest proper station, a Tesco and a bus interchange.
Hartbury is the nearest town to Seabrook with a railway station. It lies two miles inland. It is a small town with a Tesco and a bus interchange.
Seabrook has no station of its own, and visitors arriving by rail should alight at Hartbury. The line follows the coast for the last twenty minutes. Trains are infrequent. Taxis wait outside the station, and the drive takes five minutes by a road that rises through farmland and then drops towards the sea. There is also a bus, from the interchange to the High Street. The afternoon bus is the 4.15.
The railway came to Hartbury in the Victorian years, and it was the railway that first brought visitors to this coast. Hartbury once had a newspaper of its own, the Hartbury Advertiser, which is now incorporated in the Seabrook Chronicle.
The nearest hospital is at Hartbury, as are the coroner’s court and the larger police station.
