We can’t wait to welcome you back to Exeter after 12th April! Today you can plan and book, then visit us later - we aren’t going anywhere! We can work together to make our city and its glorious surrounding countryside and coastal areas safe & pleasant places to visit...
Escape the Everyday responsibly

Follow the countryside code
We know you'll enjoy our part of the country just as much as we do. When visiting please follow the Countryside Code, which asks you to:
- Respect everyone - be considerate to those who are visiting and live in the countryside, do not block access to gateways or driveways when parking and keep to marked paths
- Give livestock horses and wild animals plenty of space and follow farmer's directions
- Share the space - slow down for horses, when cycling give way to pedestrians and horses on bridleways
- Check your route and local conditions - make sure you know your route before you set off. Check weather, tide and water conditions
- Be aware of your rights and permissions when camping, freshwater swimming & fishing
But most of all - enjoy the adventure, have fun and make memories! Read the full Countryside Code here before you visit.
Protect the environment
It's important to take care of the environment, to ensure that our outdoor space is fun and safe for all visitors and residents - let's not forget the nature and wildlife too! Whilst exploring our beautiful green spaces and beaches, please follow these rules set out by the Countyside Code:
- Take your litter home - leave no trace of your visit
- Take care with BBQs and do not light fires
- Always keep dogs under control and in sight
- Dog poo - bag it and bin it - any public waste bin will do
- Care for nature - do not cause damage or disturbance
