Holidays in Exeter

The area and getting around

A city that welcomes you with open arms

Until the steam era, Exeter was a thriving port for the wool trade, buttressed by one of the oldest shipping channels in the UK. Exeter escaped heavy industry in the 19th century because it was too far from fuel sources, and this has helped it retain some of its Tudor character. This city is often rated as one of the most liveable in the UK, while its high-quality university adds a touch of dynamism and culture. There is a beautiful dock where you can imagine old galleons docking, a majestic town hall, and a sublime cathedral with Norman towers and plenty of skilled medieval workmanship.

The university city you need to visit

Discovering its buildings built in the characteristic material of the region, the red sandstone are another wonder to enjoy. As it is also a university city, it is full of bars and pubs where you can enjoy a sparkling beer and perhaps a good traditional fish and potato dish. Although it only has three museums, in them you can enjoy jewels of art and the history of the city.

Travellers and activities

Exeter for families

Crealy Great Adventure Park is just the place for excursions if you have children under the age of ten, Crealy Adventure Park is a themed attraction that opened in 1989 and continues to grow. There are now more than 60 rides, shows, and amusements, including splashing, small roller coasters, amusement park rides, adventure parks, and the Animal Barn, which contains farm and zoo animals. The park sits on 100 acres of green Devon countryside, and some of its newest attractions are the Dino Jeeps, which you can pass animatronic dinosaurs on, the Supersubs for a voyage on the high seas in search of Atlantis, and the Junior Driving School, where children can take the wheel on a challenging course.

Exeter for garden-lovers

Alongside the faint remnants of Château de Rougemont are the Rougemont Gardens along the defences of the 950-year-old fortress. The castle was built on the north wall of the Roman city in 1068 during the Norman Conquest. It was later mentioned in Shakespeare's Richard III, and the last people in England to be executed for witchcraft were tried in this building in 1682. The largest fragment is the square entrance door of the early Normans. The park is bounded to the northwest by a chunk of the city wall, and beyond this is Northernay Gardens.

Historically, due to World War II, the historical buildings of the city were damaged; however, the reconstruction followed the traditional pattern to keep its essence as close as possible.

Top 5 travel tips in Exeter

1. Visit Exeter Cathedral!

Begun in the early 12th century and completed just under 300 years later, Exeter Cathedral is packed with incredible things to see. The oldest of all is the pair of square Norman Romanesque towers that flank the nave. Eagle-eyed visitors can see more than 400 chiefs in the vault, adorned with decorative motifs or historical scenes such as the assassination of Thomas Becket. Produced in 1360, the Gallery of Troubadours in the nave has 12 angels in niches, each playing a different musical instrument. The astronomical clock, meanwhile, has a lower dial from 1484 with a 24-hour clock, while the upper one from 1760 counts the minutes. Finally, the astonishing 13th century mercies in the choir are the UK's oldest complete ensemble, featuring the oldest known depiction of an elephant in the country.

2. Discover countless varieties and curiosities of all kinds at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum

It is a diverse attraction, with collections of world cultures, natural history, zoology, prehistory, antiquities, and art. In 2011, this museum, which dates back to 1868, was reopened with great success after a £24 million refurbishment. The Royal Albert Memorial Museum was conceived as a practical memorial for Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, and was housed in a highly ornate Gothic building. You can inspect the cabinets in the studio of Victorian biologist Percy Sladen, who amassed one of the largest collections of echinoderms (starfish, sand dollars, and sea urchins). Some of the many other highlights are the medieval building fragments, the armour of Japanese samurai, the 14th century Exeter jigsaw jug, and a wall lined with prehistoric hand axes and spearheads.

3. Enjoy an afternoon at the Historic Pier

The Historic Exe Wharf and the Exeter Canal is one of the most beautiful scenes in the city. In the warmer months, there is something to do most days, like the annual 10-kilometre run or open-air concerts, while the pubs, restaurants and cafes have tables by the water. It is the oldest brick building in Exeter, dating from the early 1680s and easy to see from its wedges and pediment, as well as the canyons in front. You can cross the Exe on the manual Butts Ferry, which has been here since 2005 on a crossing used since 1641. There are also canoes or bikes for rent at the pier, so you can head off and see where your curiosity takes you.

4. The mysterious and interesting underground passages

There is a burrow of passageways under Exeter, dug in medieval times to bring drinking water to the city. The water was transported through lead pipes, and to facilitate its maintenance and avoid excavation of the city, the pipes were kept in large vaults. You can put on a helmet and head underground to see these tunnels for yourself, where you'll find centuries-old masonry marks and graffiti. Before the guided tour, you will visit the heritage centre, which has pieces of the ancient lead pipe in a glass case and interactive exhibits on topics such as hydraulics.

5. A short walk down Parliament Street

For quick diversion, Parliament Street, which branches off the High Street and a short walk from the Cathedral courtyard, is one of the narrowest streets in the world. Measuring 63.5 centimetres wide at its narrowest point, this street was first built in the 14th century. Its previous name was Small Lane, and in the 19th century it was given a much larger title in protest against the Reform Act of 1832, which transformed the UK electoral system!
