EXETER, ENGLAND

I traveled to Exeter from Torquay with the group which I was studying there. I just expend one day in Exeter but is enough small to visit it in one day.

Exeter is a city, district and county town of Devon, England. Exeter is located approximately 37 miles (60 km) northeast of Plymouth, and 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Bristol, on the River Exe. The city has a population of 111,076 according to the 2001 Census.

Exeter has a long history, being founded by the Celts, and established by the Romans as Isca Dumnoniorum in 50 AD; it was the most south-westerly Roman fortified settlement in Britain. Exeter has been a city since time immemorial, and has an Anglican cathedral, the 1050 founded Exeter Cathedral.

Tourism forms a vital part of the city's economy, and in 2004 Exeter was granted Fairtrade City status. Exeter has been identified as one of the top ten most profitable locations for a business to be based, and has a sizable service economy, with a catchment workforce of 300,000 people within 45 minutes drive.[2] The city has good transport links, with the M5 motorway, Exeter Central railway station, Exeter St Davids railway station and Exeter International Airport connecting the city both nationally and internationally.
