A small city that packs a big punch, Exeter is one of the most vibrant, attractive and historically interesting cities in England. Pre-dating the arrival of the Romans in AD50, Exeter’s history is rich and long. This is reflected in its fascinating visitor attractions including Underground Passages, free Red Coat Guided Tours, magnificent Cathedral, imposing Roman wall and beautiful Quayside. Exeter is also home to the award winning Royal Albert Memorial Museum where visitors can explore the city’s 2,000-year history under one roof!
Day 4: Our excursion today takes us to the market town of Totnes with its variety of shops and historic buildings before continuing to delightful Dartmouth. The River Dart is busy with boats of all shapes and sizes, and the town hosts the Royal Naval College. You have time to obtain lunch here before you return to the hotel late afternoon.
