Welcome to Exeter
"With a touch of buzzy, big city atmosphere, a large student population and a thriving arts scene, Exeter is one of the liveliest cities in the southwest. The city's long heritage means there are plenty of monuments and historical attractions to occupy at least a day's sightseeing, and the excellent selection of bars, cafes and restaurants make Exeter a vibrant place to be after dark." - Lonely Planet.
Exeter Cathedral is a cultural and heritage attraction in the city of Exeter, Devon, in the southwest of England and the seat of the bishop of Exeter. The present building was complete by about 1400, and has the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England, and other notable features. Parliament Street is a 50m long street in Exeter, England, which links the High Street to Waterbeer Lane and dates from the 14th century. It was formerly called Small Lane and was renamed when Parliament was derided by the city council for passing the 1832 Reform Bill.
The street is approximately 1.2m (45") at its widest and less than 0.64m (25") at its narrowest. This made it till 2007, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the world's narrowest street.
The House That Moved is a 15th Century Timber-framed located in Exeter's 'West Quarter', off Fore Street, in West Street.
Although it looks like the building belongs there it was in fact moved on rollers in 1961.
The original site for the house was at Number 16 Edmund Street, but due to the building of the new inner by-pass and Exe bridges had to be moved.
The house is now used as a wedding dress shop.
