There are two pubs in Exeter that I would like to tell you about. The Bridge Inn at near by Topsham is a real oldie world coaching inn which dates back to the 'Domesday Book'. It is everything a real pub should be.
The second pub is called 'The first & Last' and can be found on Cowick Street in the centre of Exeter. This pub belongs to the 'Hop Back' brewery so you can expect some very nice beer in there. visit the links on the left to find out all about them.
Below there is a couple of short paragraphs about Exeter and its Cathedral which you may find of interest.
The city of Exeter has a wealth of things to do and see. The city is full of character, and steeped in history. Exeter has over 600 shops, including, open-air markets, quaint antique and curio shops, collectors fairs and of course the large high street department stores. Whilst it offers all the facilities of a large city, Exeter has many examples of outstanding architecture and buildings. The city is surrounded by the lush green Devon countryside, all within a few minutes drive of the centre.
The Cathedral At the heart of the city is the spectacular Cathedral church of St. Peter, which rises up from the spacious lawned, Cathedral Close, allowing you to see the full majesty of the cathedral facade. The two towers of the cathedral, are from the Norman Period, dating from 1110, whilst the majority of the building, including the splendid West Front with its medieval figures of the apostles and prophets, dates from the 14th century. The Gothic vault roof, built in 1396, above the central aisle, is the longest unbroken roof of this type in the world. The 300 feet long tierceron vault, weighing 5000 tons, stands on columns of Pur-beck (Dorset stone), the rest of the Cathedral being constructed of limestone quarried from near by Beer.
