Exeter Cottages
Exeter has always had real character due to its lovely cathedral, which is surrounded by peaceful green spaces and cobbled streets. The historic quayside is full of interesting shops to browse and cafes in which to while away an afternoon of people watching. There is a worthwhile visitor centre, which traces Exeter's history back into the mists of time, and promises plenty of fascinating things to do.
