Family travel tips for Exeter
- Pack layers and waterproofs; British weather can be unpredictable, even in summer. Comfortable shoes are a must for exploring!
- Exeter city centre is very walkable, but consider using local buses for longer distances or little legs. The train is great for coastal day trips.
- Look for accommodation near the historic Quay for a lively atmosphere, or slightly out of the centre for quieter family-friendly areas with good transport links.
- Always check accessibility for specific attractions beforehand, especially for pushchairs or wheelchairs, as some historic sites may have limited access.
