History enthusiasts will enjoy Knightshayes Court in nearby Tiverton, a magnificent Victorian Gothic country house managed by the National Trust with beautiful formal gardens that make for a wonderful afternoon’s wandering. The historic city of Exeter is also within easy reach and well worth a full day’s exploration. The magnificent Norman cathedral, the medieval Quayside, the independent shops of the city centre and the Exe Valley Ride along the banks of the River Exe all combine to make Exeter one of the most rewarding days out in the south west.
