Where We Do It

Surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside, Exeter is a buzzing vibrant university city with an interesting and inspiring history. There’s plenty to discover, – like the underground passages, fascinating cathedral and famous RAAM museum. Wander along the quayside and you’ll find the great canal lock gates, picturesque cycle paths and welcoming cafes.

What’s Nearby?

The medieval town of Topsham is just a few miles outside Exeter and well worth a visit . Further down the coat you’ll find Exmouth and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site with its large Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and relaxing beaches – are within easy reach of the city.
