A historic building on a grand scale. The transformation into a great attraction for the public drives from all ages folks and children to come and admire the beauty of this worship place. The great moon globe exhibit in the centre is the main attraction.

Love the architecture and stained glass at Exeter Cathedral. Be sure to look up as well as down while looking around. Make sure you visit the section that was bombed, a rugby match was played to help raise funds to rebuild so the stonemason, as well as depicting himself in stone has also added a rugby player complete with scrum cap, you can also see the remains of the bomb that destroyed the original section. Great events, we visited the moon 🌕 and are coming back for a rooftop tour 😊👌

Beautiful not crowded by donation only and a beautiful sunny warm spring day. Worth the visit and then walk around the cathedral close and admire the elizabethan and Tudor buildings. Or sit on the grass or the steps good choices of restaurants in and around. Last time here was 1974.

600 years old cathedral in Exeter, South-West England.
It is known as the Church of Saint Peter and its architecture is really impressive.
Ofter there are street artists' performances in the area so the place never gets quiet.
People use to chill in the nearby park and also at the coffee shops located opposite the street.

Absolutely magnificent! Incorporating a mixture of architectural styles, the earliest being Romanesque, followed by Norman, Gothic & English Gothic. The cathedral has the longest, unbroken ceiling vaulting known as "Tierceron", in the world. When visiting, I recommend tagging onto a guided tour, the guides are extremely knowledgeable & will point out & explain many architectural features that could easily be overlooked if just making ones own way around. The guides will also give accounts of key people in history that have made their mark in this lovely building, both masons & bishops etc. When visiting the vibrant city of Exeter, I thoroughly recommend a visit to this beautiful building.

The cathedral is beautiful. One can simply become awestruck in the architectural design of the whole building. The interior is also very elegant. We came here for evensong a couple of times and they were very well carried out services. It is worth it to visit this cathedral.

The Christmas Market was really busy, so we went into the cathedral to warm up and it was my first time inside, what a spectacular building it is, seeing the architecture that was all around represents the fantastic achievements in those times. It's an absolutely stunning building. Well worth the visit. Will be returning to have a more in-depth look.

A very beautiful, spectacular cathedral. a place not to be missed when visiting Exeter. The Cathedral was founded by St Edward the Confessor in 1050 shortly before he re-founded Westminster Abbey and both churches are dedicated to St Peter. Exeter Cathedral is considered the finest examples of Decorated Gothic architecture anywhere and has the longest span of medieval vaulting in the world and the tallest medieval Bishop's Throne Canopy.There is also a shop inside the cathedral where you can buy a souvenir.I visited the cathedral at the end of December. there were few people and I was able to carefully study the architectural details of great beauty.
