Discover more about Exeter's fascinating past on a free Guided Tour. Operating year round, you are invited to discover Roman Exeter, the Port or learn about Exeter's ghostly residents. Exeter's majestic Cathedral is over 850 years old and one of the finest examples of decorated Gothic work in England today. Its unique Norman twin towers dominate the skyline.
