About Exeter
Exeter's story spans over two millennia, beginning as the Roman fortress of Isca Dumnoniorum. Its rich history is layered throughout the city, from the surviving underground Roman passages to the formidable Norman castle walls. The city is most famous for its stunning 13th-century Gothic cathedral, a masterpiece of medieval architecture featuring the world's longest uninterrupted medieval stone vaulted ceiling. Exeter is the county town of Devon and a major commercial centre for the South West, balancing its historic role with a forward-looking outlook thanks to the University of Exeter. The main districts include the compact city centre, centred around the High Street and Cathedral Close; the trendy, revitalised Quayside with its converted warehouses; and the university campuses that add a scholarly buzz. Culturally, the city boasts the excellent Royal Albert Memorial Museum, a vibrant arts scene at the Exeter Phoenix, and beautiful green spaces like Northernhay Gardens, England's oldest public park. Exeter is a gateway city, famous for providing access to the dramatic tors of Dartmoor National Park and the serene estuaries of the south Devon coast.
Best Time to Visit Exeter
The best time to visit Exeter is late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September), when the weather is mild, the days are long, and the crowds are thinner. Summer (July-August) is peak season, with warmer temperatures and a full calendar of festivals, but also more tourists. This period sees events like the Exeter Festival and outdoor performances at the cathedral. Winters are cool and damp but rarely severe, offering a quiet, atmospheric time to explore museums and historic sites without queues. The city has a charm during the Christmas market in December. Late autumn and winter can be wet, so packing waterproofs is essential. Spring brings blooming flowers to the parks and gardens, while autumn offers beautiful colours, especially in the nearby Dartmoor. Major events are spread throughout the year, including the Exeter Food and Drink Festival in April and the Exeter Respect Festival in summer.
