Exeter Cathedral History & heritage


Pre-dating the arrival of the Romans in AD50, Exeter’s history is rich and long. Begin your journey with a stroll through the historic streets, where you’ll find the majestic Exeter Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture standing proudly for over 900 years. Dive into the city’s past at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, which houses fascinating collections that tell the story of Exeter and beyond.


Free guided walking tours run throughout the year with the Red Coat Guides and you can even explore beneath the city’s streets, on a guided tour of the medieval Underground Passages!


If you prefer to explore at your own pace, follow one of three self-guided walks around Exeter, including a walk around Exeter’s 2,000 year-old Roman city wall, of which around 70% still remains.
