ExeterExeter Cathedral is a largely 13th century building, and one of the finest examples of early Gothic style in the country. The cathedral offers the longest uninterupted vaulted ceiling in England, and the carving throughout the interior is superb. The Guildhall is a fine medieval building which boasts the distinction of being the oldest municipal building in the country still in active service. Explore the vaulted 14th century underground passages constructed to hold lead pipes for the city's fresh water, or learn about 2,000 years of the city's history in the Quay House Visitor Centre. An excellent way to learn about the city is in the company of a Red Coat guided tour host. These free 90-minute walking tours commence at the Quay House or outside the Royal Clarence Hotel in Cathedral Yard.
