An intimate and sometimes
charming capital city, Exeter is particularly
noted for its great Norman cathedral whose
diamond-shaped close contains properties that
hark back to the Middle Ages; Molls Old Coffee
House, for example, was built in 1596.
The
cathedral itself is a marvel of medieval
stained glass and has a jaw-dropping vaulted
ceiling.
The city centre had to be largely rebuilt
after being bombed in World War 11 but it
still has many reminders of its ancient past;
the White Hart Hotel dates to the 14th century
and other buildings have Tudor origins. |
