Exeter Cathedral, located in the heart of the city Exeter, is an Anglican cathedral known for its rich history and stunning architecture. Built between 1112 and 1400, it boasts notable features like the early misericords, a minstrels' gallery with carved angels playing musical instruments, an astronomical clock dating back to the 14th century, and the longest uninterrupted medieval stone vaulted ceiling in the world. Surviving various challenges, including bombings during World War II, the cathedral remains a symbol of resilience and beauty in South West England.
Guided tours are available, and there is often a full calendar or events and exhibitions. If you are under 18, or visiting for prayer then entrance is free, otherwise it is £7.50 which includes a tour of the ground floor.
