Exeter sits alongside Bath and Bristol as one of the most cosmopolitan and intriguing cities of South West England. Combining two thousand years of history with all the bustling characteristics of a lively and modern city, it offers something for everyone, from its university to its eclectic nightlife, to the magnificent cathedral and its Celtic and Roman remains. Located on a plateau above the River Exe, Exeter makes a wonderful destination to visit by coach. The highlights of a tour of the city centre include the six hundred year old Cathedral, one of the few buildings to remain intact after World War II, as well as stops at the seventeenth century Custom House (the oldest Custom House in England), Mol’s Elizabethan Coffee House, (opened by an Italian called Mol in the sixteenth century and said to have been where Drake, Raleigh and Hawkins met to swap stories of their victory over the Armada), the underground mediaeval passages or the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Gallery. With the flexibility of Just Coach Hire you can move from the history and art of the city centre to the Port area and its more pressing cultural activities of shopping and fine dining! Load up the coach with goodies bought in twenty-first century shops set within stunning nineteenth century warehouses.

Coach hire really comes into its own with trips around the outskirts of Exeter. From a visit to Powderham Castle, first constructed in 1391 and then modified after the Civil War, to the quirky ‘A La Ronde’, a unique 16 sided house built on the instructions of two spinsters, Jane and Mary Parminter, on returning from a ‘grand tour’ of Europe and decorated with bizarre styles such as the ‘shell room’, the ‘seaweed collage’ and the ‘feather frieze’. Now owned by National Trust it also contains a simply stunning view over the Exe Estuary and is well worth a visit by coach. Further afield, coach hire allows you to get a feel for the panoramic Moorland of Devon and the miles and miles of craggy coastline and many isolated river valleys. Using Exeter as a base coach hire gives you the freedom to visit places such as the remote Appledore village, a trading and fishing village since the fourteenth century, located at the tip of the Torridge Estuary; or why not head for the sweeping beaches and resorts of Torbay, known by some as ‘The English Riviera’. If rugged is your thing then use the coach to explore Dartmoor National Park, the beautiful and brooding setting of The Hound of the Baskervilles, and a National Park matched by few other places in Britain for its beauty. Finally, what better way to visit the Eden Project and its futuristic Biomes, fascinating and inspiring monuments to man’s relationship with the planet, than by taking a coach, arguably one of the most environmentally efficient ways to travel? Just Coach Hire allows you to explore The Eden Project, and any other area in Devon or Cornwall efficiently, enjoyably, and with a clear conscience!
