Exeter
As the county capital of Devon, Exeter combines the charm of a small city with all the character of the West Country. This is a city that dates back to before the Romans arrived, but it’s also moved with the times, and its historic streets are now home to a youthful university population. All this combined makes for a fascinating destination well worth discovering, and if you’re browsing Exeter hotels to find a place to stay, Leonardo Hotel Exeter puts you close to the heart of the action of Exeter city centre.
Get your bearings
Considered the gateway to the beautiful countryside of the South West, Exeter sits on the River Exe and close to the famed Jurassic Coast that begins at Exmouth and runs as far as Studland Bay in Dorset. Within the city itself, the focal point has to be the ornate Exeter Cathedral with its gothic architecture and 15th-century astronomical clock.
Don’t miss
You can discover the city’s 2,000 year history at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, or by joining a Red Coat guided tour. Those who prefer their adventures more action-packed should check out Crealy Theme Park & Resort, just east of the city, which is home to high-octane rides and attractions including the Flying Dutchman pirate ship and the Tidal Wave log flume.
While you’re there
A great way to explore this city is by following one of the Exeter Trails: a series of five hand-drawn maps that guide visitors around its best bits. Themed according to interests including food, creativity and hobbies, you can choose which one takes your fancy and then see what Exeter has to offer on that subject.
