Exeter, situated on the river Exe, is the capital city of Devon. Its history is both rich and long, as reflected in its varied visitor attractions including the Underground Passages, built in the 14th and 15th centuries to bring fresh drinking water into the city and the magnificent gothic Exeter Cathedral which has the longest uninterrupted medieval gothic vaulting in the world.
