Exeter, history and present-day details
Exeter is the capital city of Devon, known by many people as the gateway to SW England.
Exeter is a traditional market town that still retains much of it's past trading characteristics that, today, blend in with its more up-to-date city-life personality.
Visitors can stay and enjoy Exeter's delights, from quaint craft and coffee shops on cobbled streets and Elizabethan buildings, to its modern shopping centre with the usual famous names and chain stores.
Being in Devon, the surroundings are simply stunning. Exeter is about 10 miles from the coast and about the same distance to the breathtaking Dartmoor.
Exeter has plenty to offer for the people that live here, people that want to live here and people that want to holiday here or near here.

In the heart of Ruby Devon, and within easy access of the coast at North Devon, North Cornwall and The Moors. The Bickford Arms has stood at Brandis Corner near Holsworthy since the 17th Century, first as a coaching inn and now as a completely rebuilt traditional pub and restaurant, offering bed and breakfast. Reduced to a shell by a disastrous fire in 2003, The Bickford Arms has been lovingly restored by its present owners, Nigel and Rowena, into a stunning mix of period features and modern-day comfort. Set in the heart of Devon's magnificent Ruby Country, The Bickford Arms is only a short drive from Dartmoor and the fabulous beaches of North Devon and North Cornwall. It is both a well-respected community pub and a superb venue for private functions and weddings. If you want to stop over for a short break, you will find the accommodation first class. The pub is rated AA four stars, so you can be sure that your stay will be comfortable and your welcome will be warm. There are five spacious letting bedrooms, all centrally heated, with bath and shower en-suite, and beautifully furnished with modern character furniture in traditional style. Every room has a TV and a tea and coffee maker. Each room is named after a principal family on the Bickford family tree, which dates back to the 1300s.
