Exeter, Cathedral city in Devon, England

The River Exe flows through this southwestern English city, which extends across 47 square kilometers of rolling terrain near the English Channel.

The Romans established a military base called Isca Dumnoniorum in 55 AD, constructing fortified walls that shaped the development of the medieval settlement.

The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter, constructed in 1133, displays exceptional Gothic architecture with detailed stone carvings and the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling.

The central railway station connects directly to London Paddington, Bristol Temple Meads, and Plymouth, while Exeter International Airport serves European destinations.

The Underground Passages, constructed in medieval times to supply water, form a network of tunnels beneath the city streets that visitors can explore.
