Exeter Cathedral

About

Exeter Cathedral, the cathedral church of Saint Peter, stands proudly in the heart of Exeter, Devon. Its soaring Norman and Gothic architecture makes it one of England’s most dramatic religious buildings, and it is famed for housing the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling in Europe. Inside the cathedral, visitors encounter a wealth of treasures: the world‑famous misericords, a 14th‑century astronomical clock, the magnificent Great East Window, and the exquisite choir stalls carved by George Gilbert Scott in the 19th century. The surrounding cloisters, tower with its gleaming bells, and the glass‑roofed Central Court hosting the Treasures Exhibition further enrich the experience. Whether you arrive for a quiet moment of worship, a guided tour, or to listen to the cathedral’s renowned choir and organ, the atmosphere of reverence and the stunning acoustics will leave an indelible impression. The cathedral’s accessible gardens, friendly volunteers, and family‑friendly events make it a destination for all ages and interests.
