If you can find the time during your visit to us today we really recommend exploring the city of Exeter itself. Set in the heart of the beautiful Devon countryside and only a short walk from either of our campuses, Exeter is consistently rated as one of the best places to live, work and study in the UK. The city centre boasts excellent places to eat, an impressive, modern shopping centre, award-winning museum, and, of course, the historic cathedral and ancient Roman city wall. Stroll a few minutes further and you will find the vibrant quayside and beautiful river and canal, and, beyond the city itself, Devon’s rolling countryside, expansive National Parks and miles of beautiful beaches. exeter.ac.uk/thesouthwest/exeter
