We will pin our colours to the mast here and say we’re biased because we love Exeter.

It’s a fantastic city with something for everyone.

From its Roman roots as a small settlement, it has grown over the centuries to be one of the best places to live, work and study in the UK.

And that’s official – the city regularly features in the top ten lists of the best places to live in the country.

Exeter Cathedral, its quayside and Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery are all popular places to visit.

Other great days out are The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, the 600-year-old Powderham Castle and Crealy Theme Park and Resort.

There’s plenty of places to rest your eyes in shades of green for nature lovers, including Bowling Green Marsh, Stover Country Park, and strolling along Exeter Canal.

Oh, did we mention the beaches? Sandy Bay is one of our favourites and the perfect spot to watch the sun go down.

And being the home of a thriving university means you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to nightlife and social opportunities.

With excellent transport links, including an airport with flights to major cities in the UK and abroad, commuting is more straightforward than people often think.
Exeter Chiefs and Exeter City FC offer a chance to see fantastic professional sport and support our local teams.

But if shopping is more your bag, you’ll love the retail therapy offered by Guildhall, Harlequin and Princesshay shopping centres.

At Athelstans, we’re proud to live, work and enjoy all the delights that Exeter has to offer, but what makes it unique is its warm, friendly, and community-minded people.

We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful city.
