The Great Outdoors

Under an hour’s drive east or west will land you in a national park or protected natural area. Consider the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). With a name like that, how could you pass it up? The Blackdown Hills area covers roughly 150 square miles and is protected by the government as well as local organizations. Go horseback riding or take a hike down one of the beautiful trails. The natural scenery is breathtaking, as are the castles, statues, and ruins. The area is also steeped in history, the stories of which can be found throughout the preserve. Blackdown Hills is a nice place to do some wildlife viewing as well.

Just south of the Blackdown Hills AONB, you’ll find the East Devon AONB. Encompassing roughly 100 square miles, East Devon AONB is magnificent. It borders the English Channel and boasts beautiful beaches, sprawling green hills, lush valleys, and scenic hilltop views. Visitors can hike wooded trails and explore East Devon. With around 3,200 historic sites to explore, including monuments, gardens, and buildings, history buffs will have a field day in the preserve.

Expansive landscapes, tall stone monuments, picturesque castles — what else could you ask for in a day trip? Head down to Dartmoor National Park, a mere 30-minute drive west, and start making some memories. You’re sure to find rare wildlife roaming the green hills. Discover the bountiful history of the natural landscape as well as the legends that haunt the structures.

If you prefer to stay in town, you'll find a handful of lush green spaces to explore in Exeter proper. The Exeter Green Circle Walk passes through most of them. This 12-mile route meanders through Riverside Valley Park, Mincinglake Valley Park, and Ludwell Valley Park. Depending on which section you choose to walk, you'll enjoy magnificent water views or serene meadows filled with wildflowers.

Camping in Exeter

If you’re looking to rent an RV in Exeter, there are a few different lodging options to choose from. Consider the Exeter View Stables, a rustic campsite with a lovely view of rolling green hills. The campground provides recycling, trash, and compost receptacles. Toilets, drinking water, showers, and a communal fire pit are provided as well. Exeter View Stables isn't dog-friendly, however. Campers will find a local shop within a five-minute drive from their site.

If you’re looking for an off-the-grid style motorhome rental in Exeter, look no further than Bryndir Campsite. There's no electricity and no disposal hookups. This campsite is where campers go when they want to get away from it all. Amenities include a toilet block and a place where visitors can wash up.

Castle Brake Holiday Park is a nice place to camp that provides chemical disposal, drinking water, and electrical hookups. Other facilities include a laundrette, toilets, and hot showers. A children's playground and walking trails through the adjacent recreational area make Castle Brake an excellent choice for nature lovers.

Finding the best caravan rental in Exeter for your budget and style is the easy part, but when it comes to choosing a place to camp, your work will be cut out for you.

Exploring the City

One of the major draws to the town of Exeter is the Exeter Cathedral. A marvel to behold, this 1,000-year-old church welcomes thousands of visitors every year. This magnificent structure took over 80 years to build and is a true testament to wealth, stature, craftsmanship, and faith. Highlights include the Astronomical Clock, the Bishop's Throne, and the Norman Towers. Church services have been held regularly for many centuries and continue today.

If you’re looking for shops and pubs, Exeter Quayside is the place to be. It follows the River Exe and is always vibrant and full of life. Duck into an antique shop and see what treasures you can find, or have dinner at a restaurant on the water. Maybe you want to book a seat on a tour boat and cruise up and down the river, learning about the history of Exeter. Quayside is the heart of the town and a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy your day.

Above ground, you’ll find museums, family theme parks, and botanical gardens, but down below the streets, you’ll find the Underground Passages. These passages were originally built to accommodate the water pipes that supplied clean water to medieval Exeter. Leave your caravan rental in Exeter above ground and take a trip below the streets to discover the fascinating and terrible history of this underground tunnel system. Legend has it that people hid in these haunted tunnels during the WWII air raids.

The streets are packed with restaurants. No matter what cuisine you're craving, you can probably find it in downtown Exeter. There are equally as many petrol stations in town and in the surrounding area. Once you’re full of food and your tank is topped off, the closest major cities are Plymouth to the south and Bath to the north.
