Exeter's rich history is visible to everybody. Exeter, formerly colonized by the Romans, still has sections of its old 15-foot-tall wall going back 2,000 years.

There's also a magnificent medieval church, Tudor structures, and a maze of cobblestone streets.

Exeter, however, is not a museum due to its significant student population; the city has vibrant clubs, restaurants, and nightlife. It also features Princesshay Arcade, which offers a variety of businesses, so there should be something for everyone.

Exeter Cathedral, completed in 1400, is a stunning medieval structure with many intriguing histories. Step inside, and you'll see the world's most extended vaulted ceiling, which is still awe-inspiring.

Keep an eye out for the Astronomical Clock, the first sections dating back to 1484. The clock displays the sun's location in the sky as well as the phases of the moon. If you look closely, you may even see a hole made in the 17th century to allow the Bishop's cat to drain vermin and mice out of the clock's mechanism.

The historic Quayside is famous among residents and tourists because of its eclectic mix of bars, restaurants, odd boutiques, and antique stores. Explore the neighbourhood on foot or by bike, or take a boat ride and view everything from the ocean.

Several eateries and coffee shops are to select from, built in both antique and contemporary structures. According to locals, carrot cake enthusiasts should go directly to Mango's café.

Pebblebed Vineyard English wine is experiencing a surge at the moment, so there's never been a better time to see all the excitement. If you come between May and October, take the Winemaker's Tour to learn about the winemaking process before sampling four or five distinct kinds. There are also charcuterie platters and other delectable bites offered.

Elaine M. Goodwin's mosaics and Dame Barbara Hepworth's abstract forms are among the items that vary in shape and scale. Sculptures may be seen hanging from trees, in the shape of fountains, or sculpted into the sides of buildings.

Travel deep inside Exeter through an atmospheric network of tunnels under the city.

Starting at the cathedral, you'll descend into a Medieval-era underground environment excavated to store the city's lead water pipes.

After passing the ruins of the city's Medieval gates (which were subsequently demolished), you'll come to the Georgian quarter, also utilized as an air raid bunker during WWII. On tour, you'll view an informative short documentary on the tunnel's history.

While finding your way through a dark, frigid corridors isn't for everyone, it's a terrific chance to explore a different side of Exeter.
