We've visited numerous cathedrals in England over the years, but this one is by far our favorite. While a large area is off limits due to construction, it still was a magical space. The volunteers were so friendly and helpful. In fact we had quite the chat with a lovely lady - Margaret. It ended up in us striking up a friendship due to mutual history interests with her husband. A few days after our tour, we went back at night to watch a performance of Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. Wow we were blown away. I thought it might be an amateurish performance but wanted to see the cathedral at night and with fewer people around. Actually the play was extremely professional and entertaining. Being in the space at night was indeed amazing.

The interior of the Cathedral has some wonderful architecture as well as stained glass windows. What workmanship from centuries ago. Pity the coffee kiosk was not operating. Beware if you need to use the toilet, you have to get a code for the door, then find the toilet outside in an adjoining building.

A lovely Cathedral with fantastic stain glass windows. A must place to visit whilst visiting Exeter. Also visit the Christmas Market held on the Cathedral Green from mid Novemeber

A wonderful tour of the cathedral today including the north and south towers in the snow. Graham was extremely knowledgeable and probably our best guide experience. Where did 2.5 hrs go? Well worth the money and can't recommend it enough.

We were busy shopping in Exeter, the market is so close to the cathedral. The staff there were lovely, we went in to decompress, out of the hustle and bustle it was an oasis of quiet. I was able to write a private prayer for my family, and there were some amazing people who would pray with you if you wanted. Beautiful buildings.

Normally would not consider visiting as I object to paying to enter a place of worship (have no objection to giving a donation preferably on the way out), however cathedral offered free admission while the Christmas market was on this year so decided to take advantage of this. It's a beautiful building with some awesome stained glass windows and lovely chapels. My main criticism is it kinda felt a bit like a building site with scaffolding in the middle which is reflected in my rating. Overall very happy I took the opportunity to look round.

Exeter is a beautiful cathedral and if you have a checklist of things you'd like to find in a magnificent ecclesiastical space you won't struggle to find them all in here. The current Exeter Cathedral building dates back to 1114 although a cathedral was founded in Exeter by Edward the Confessor in 1050. Additions and improvements were made mainly from the 12th to 14th centuries, including the west front image screen which was added in 1340. Exeter Cathedral is considered one of the finest examples of Decorated Gothic architecture anywhere and has the longest span of medieval vaulting in the world and the tallest medieval Bishop’s Throne Canopy. This is one place not to be missed in the South West of England.

I strongly recommend a guided tour of Exeter Cathedral. We were hugely fortunate to have Mike Richards as our engagingly knowledgeable guide. Mike presented historical facts and entertaining stories which made the history of the cathedral relatable and memorable. Mike achieved this despite intermittent loud intrusive noises from the Mars installation. The Mars exhibit seems inappropriate in this setting. It is surprising that volunteers have continued to offer their services whilst this overwhelmingly loud exhibit is making impossible demands when they are carrying out their invaluable guiding duties.

We went in here on Thursday morning before returning back home.. it was our first time and we paid the Senior rate £6 each. We have been in Exeter many times but never had the opportunity to go in. Wonderful cathedral and so many items to look at the ceilings are stunning and the carvings are out of this world - they sure were talented people years ago. We spent just over 2 hours walking around and at the end had a cuppa from the mobile van situated inside. If you are interested in architecture this is a winner.

A beautiful cathedral with lots of history. All of the staff and volunteers were very friendly and professional. Mike was exceptional as a guide and I would strongly recommend going on the official tours. A lovely coffee van inside the cathedral with great service and quality drinks makes for a perfect visit.
