History

Tidmouth Beach is a popular attraction for holidaymakers. A village is located along the seaside here, with a small station nearby. There is also a lighthouse along the beach with its own generator shed.

After an incident with some trucks at Knapford Harbour, Bulstrode was towed to this beach and was turned into a children's playground here.

During a period of high tide, the track along the beach was damaged by the sea, resulting in Henry coming off the rails here while pulling the Flying Kipper after not listening to Thomas warning him of the danger.
