For outdoor enthusiasts, a walk along the Quayside offers picturesque views and a chance to enjoy the local cafes and boutiques. The historic Rougemont Castle, located within the city, provides a glimpse into Exeter's long history.

Exeter is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends largely on personal preferences and desired activities. Spring and early summer (from April to June) offer mild weather and blooming landscapes, making it ideal for outdoor exploration. The summer months from July to September are perfect for enjoying festivals and outdoor events, albeit they are the busiest times with more tourists. For those looking to enjoy a quieter visit, autumn and winter provide a more peaceful atmosphere, with cozy pubs and cultural experiences. The Christmas season is particularly magical, with decorations and festive markets adding to the city's charm.
