Exeter Exeter is without doubt the capital of Devon, though ironically it’s not the typical town that most visitors come to expect when they think about Devon. There’s a certain high pace and vibrancy about Devon that is out of place with the rest of the county. Not only is Exeter the most culturally and commercially important place within Devon, but it boasts a vivid historical importance with plenty of old buildings and other important landmarks of heritage. The holiday maker who visits Devon should at least pop in to Exeter for a visit. There’s a lot about Exeter that a quick walk reveals. The city wall remains date back to 200 AD (initially built by the Romans). Impressive Exeter Cathedral was originally built in the 11th Century and other notable points of interest include the Guildhall, Royal Albert Memorial Museum, and Tuckers Hall. Exeter has developed significantly in recent years, and offers visitors and residents a huge choice of entertainment & leisure. It boasts one of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in Devon and there are plenty of restaurant choices too, from tapas and thai to Middle Eastern and Latin American. Close-by to Exteter is the lovely estuary port of Topsham. This bustling port is a perfect example of a prosperous and charming English town. Walk along the narrow streets, take in a coffee at a canal-side café and if possible hop onto a bus for perhaps the best way to explore the nooks and crannies that Topsham has to offer. Very close to Exeter (2 miles) is a lovely little town called Ottery St Mary – offering some of the most winding streets to be found anywhere, and a wonderful ancient church that stretches back to the 14th century. Also close to Exeter is the town of Sidmouth which has plenty of smart villas and cottages.
