Known as the "Cathedral City," Exeter was settled by the Romans in the first century. Remnants from the Roman times, such as the City Walls and the Exeter Underground Passages, are still intact in several locations. Visitors flock to see not only the Roman remains, but also the towering Exeter Cathedral, some of which dates from the eleventh century.
However, there is more to do in Exeter than visit the past. The Quay area offers some of the best dining and shopping destinations in Devon. If you are a nature lover, Exeter's countryside features a unique landscape that offers excellent excursions.
