  • Exeter Travel Guide & City Information

The ancient city of Exeter, Devon's county town, gets enough tourists, though less than some parts of the county since it is neither on the coast nor in a national park

Its Cathedral Close is as beautiful as any in England and the cathedral itself, in the Decorated [Middle Gothic] style has a particularly fine website. [http://www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk.]

Although not coastal, Exeter was able to enjoy its share of international trade for many years through its Ship Canal, a 16th century structure far predating the 'Canal Age' in England. The story is well told on http://www.canals.btinternet.co.uk/canals/exetercanal.htm
