Exeter is the perfect gateway destination to the South Coast of England, including Cornwall and Britain’s stunning Jurassic coast. However, Exeter city itself is a fantastic destination all of its own. Located near to the coast, it is surprisingly tranquil for a major city. The Gothic Cathedral dominates the historic city centre which can be explored on one of the daily free walking tours. Discover more about the city’s history at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum or explore underground in the city’s medieval Underground Passages.
With ample shopping dining and entertainment offerings the city is easy to explore on foot. Visit the scenic quayside for more dining options and discover the city’s maritime history at the 17th Century Custom House Visitor Centre.
The surrounding countryside offers beautiful scenery and walking opportunities. The city itself also has ample parks and greenspaces, making it the perfect place to explore by bicycle or electric bike. For sports fans you can take in a match at Exeter Football Club or have a flutter on the horses at Exeter Racecourse.
