Posted in Travel

When most people debate taking an England vacation they nearly always just mention resorts by the sea such as Blackpool, Margate, Great Yarmouth and Bognor Regis. Occasionally folk may debate taking a short break in a specific county in England for example Devon in the south of England but not very often do they debate taking a short break in the city of Exeter. This article discusses various reasons why an Exeter vacation is a clever idea.

The first reasons for taking a break in Exeter is that the accommodation is reasonably priced with Exeter bed and breakfast accommodation available from around twenty five pounds per night and plenty of places around the £40 – £50 range.

Obviously you will need more than a minimal price to attract you to stay in a city and Exeter definitely has loads to offer the potential visitor. You will discover that there are numerous top notch visitor attractions in the center of the city and even more within easy reach and if that is not enough then the city of Plymouth is but a short distance and you will discover that there is also cheap Plymouth bed and breakfast and even more brilliant tourist attractions. Also you will find that there are plenty of astounding sites to see all along the nearby coast.

Tourist Attractions

In the city of Exeter there are only a few of tourist attractions which merit your time including; Rougemont Castle, the Royal Albert Museum and St Peter’s Cathedral. As I said earlier in this article there is a selection of close by seaside resorts to see the finest being the pretty villages of Beer, Seaton and Sidmouth.

Further away, between Exeter and Plymouth is the hardly populated moorland of the Dartmoor National Park with the overall region having a fair few tourist attractions worth a visit including Buckfast Abbey, A La Ronde and Buckland Abbey along the main route, to Plymouth. Along the way you will see the Torbay area, which is made up of Brixham, Torquay and Paignton and is commonly referred to as the English Riviera.

Exeter really is a fantastic city in which to stay but why not have a think about having a twin destination vacation and spend a few of nights/days in a luxurious Plymouth hotel and tour the spectacular coastline in between these two cities?
