More about Exeter:
- · Exeter is one of the UK's most attractive locations, and Devon provides some of the
most beautiful, unspoilt countryside and best beaches on the south coast
- · Whilst a city with its own cathedral, castle and historic centre, Exeter retains a friendly
and small town atmosphere
- · Exeter University is one of the most highly rated in the UK, and the student population
ensure the city has a young and vibrant social life
- · Due to having such a wide catchment area, Exeter has shopping, dining and recreational
facilities considerably greater than its size might suggest.
- · The calibre and choice of shops will exceed all but the very large cities in the UK
- · For those whom enjoy the Channel Islands life-style, Exeter is probably the closest to
this in the mainland UK, with the added benefits of a much cheaper cost of living, cheap
housing and ease of transport to e.g. Bristol, Bath, London and further afield via a high
speed rail network and also Exeter International Airport.
