Reputed to be one of the most-haunted cities in England, Exeter’s unassuming beauty will linger.
Small but perfectly formed. Therein, lies the beauty of Exeter. Because, for all its wealth of attractions and things to see and enjoy – it’s all neatly compacted into a city that boasts a cosy population of just 111,000.
From its stunning cathedral to its historic quayside to its plethora of shopping streets and centres, all the best bits of Exeter are within walking distance of each other. And not the kind of walking distance that requires hiking boots and a large tube of blister cream, either.
With Exeter, it’s also quite simple where to start – St Peter’s Cathedral. Or, more specifically, the picturesque green out front, next to Cathedral Close. By simply lounging around (and perhaps supping a little of what you fancy from one of the nearby café bars), you can take in the splendour of a cathedral that still features two massive Norman towers that were part of the original building when consecrated in 1133. After soaking up the relaxing atmosphere and admiring some of the finest medieval sculptures in England, only then need you scuttle off down the side streets to explore everything else on offer.
