Exeter Canal Basin

Highlight • Cycleway

Great area to start this journey with cafes and nice shops.

Tip by

7.10 km

Once a thriving port, Exeter Quay is now a stunning place to explore or to have a bite to eat. The Customs House often has exhibitions on whilst the buildings that stand on the edge of the river have history seeping out of their ageing brickwork.

You're spoilt for choice for places to eat and you can also hire e-bikes on the quayside, and explore further. If you want to take to the water, you can hire canoes, kayaks and even pedalos here too; watch out for stroppy geese and hungry swans.
