Exeter is a very old city in Great Britain. The Romans built a settlement a long time ago. They built a large wall around the settlement. Much of the wall is still there. Today, the old city wall is the center of Exeter. There are many stores and streets for shopping.

The cathedral shows the history of Exeter. The Guildhall is from the 15th century. It is the oldest town hall in England. The old customs house is worth seeing. The weavers' guildhall is also worth a visit. Mol's coffee house was popular with Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh. To the west of Exeter lies Dartmoor. Dartmoor is a wild landscape.
