Exeter

A historic city located within the county of Devon in England, Exeter has enjoyed a reputation as a beautiful city with a number of great attractions. Amongst these attractions is Exeter Cathedral, founded in 1050 and a stunning architectural feat.

The ruins of Rougemont Castle are also located within the city, as well as the oldest municipal building in England that is still in use, The Guildhall. The famous "House That Moved" is also found in Exeter, earning its name from its history of being moved from its original location on the corner of Edmund Street in order for a new road to be built in its place.

Weighing more than twenty-one tonnes, it was strapped together and slowly moved a few inches at a time to its present day position. The city also has excellent transport links, with two railway stations, an airport and links to the M5 motorway.
