When the majority of folk debate having a UK vacation they nearly always just mention resorts near to the sea such as Blackpool, Brighton, Bognor Regis and Bournemouth. Infrequently folk might debate taking a vacation in a specific English county for example the county of Devon in south England but rarely do they think about taking a vacation in the city of Exeter. This article discusses various factors why a vacation in Exeter is a clever idea.
The very first reasons for taking a holiday in Exeter is that you will find cheap accommodation with Exeter bed and breakfast available in the region of £25 per night and lots of places around the forty to fifty pounds range.
Obviously there has to be more than a low price to entice you to visit a city and Exeter certainly has plenty to offer the possible visitor. You will find that there are many superb tourist attractions in the city center and even more not too far away and if that is not sufficient then the city of Plymouth is only a short distance away and you will discover that there is also cheap accommodation in Plymouth and even more fantastic tourist attractions. Plus there are plenty of breathtaking sites to visit all along the nearby coast.

In Exeter there are just a small number of visitor attractions worth visiting including; St Peter's Cathedral, the Royal Albert Museum and Rougemont Castle. As I mentioned earlier in this article there is a selection of close by seaside resorts to see the best being the pretty villages of Sidmouth, Beer and Seaton.
Further away, between Exeter and Plymouth is the virtually unpopulated moorland of the Dartmoor National Park with the general area having a fair few visitor attractions to visit including Buckland Abbey, Buckfast Abbey and A La Ronde along the main road, to Plymouth. Along the way you will see the Torbay area, which is made up of Brixham, Torquay and Paignton and is commonly called the English Riviera.
Exeter really is a excellent city in which to take a vacation but why not discuss having a 2 destination vacation and spend a few of nights in a really luxurious hotel in Plymouth and travel around the gorgeous coast and countryside in between the two cities?
