Exeter is consistently rated as one of the best places to live in the UK.
The city has something for everyone, whether your tastes are for exploring the city or enjoying the countryside.
With a population of about 110,000, Exeter is a student-friendly city which happily combines modern life with a sense of the past. Cafes, restaurants, pubs and modern shops mix easily with historic buildings, including the Cathedral, consecrated in 1133 and rebuilt in the late medieval period, the Guildhall which is the oldest civic working building in the country, Mol's Coffee House and the Ship Inn, both favourite haunts of Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh.
