Unlike many other cathedral cities, you’re not far from the great outdoors. Exeter’s position on the River Exe and stunning countryside surroundings mean there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy, including strolling around the city’s parks and gardens, hiring bikes and canoes, or venturing slightly further out to visit the beach – one of the nearest being Exmouth, just 25 minutes away.
