This is part of a series of pieces introducing special parts or places in Exeter or the local area. Devon is literally packed with gorgeous locations and places to enjoy – and wonderful local people too. It isn’t as loudly publicised as other famous areas like Tuscany, Provence, California, or Bavaria, but it has a bit of everything for everyone !!

Why not sip a coffee and watch rowers glide down the river on the Quayside on a sunny morning, or catch a local train and take a walk along the sea-front at Exmouth only 20 minutes away ?

You might like a more strenuous walk on part of the world famous and world heritage Jurassic coast walk – a brilliant way to get fresh air, exercise and take in views of outstanding natural beauty.

It is all part of the experience of staying and studying at Exeter Academy and we can’t wait to welcome you !
