Escape the Everyday: Set Yourself a New Year Challenge in Exeter Itinerary

Day 1

09:00: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially in Exeter where you’ll need it to fuel your activity-packed day! Grab a seat at Eat on the Green for a hearty, locally-sourced fry up with spectacular views of Exeter Cathedral, book a table at The Cosy Club for scrumptious pancakes and quirky dishes or try a taste of California at Pink Moon, reserve a table here!

11:00: Have you decided that 2021 is the year to try something new? Seek new heights just a 20 minute walk from the city centre at Quay Climbing Centre, the South West’s largest indoor climbing wall, plus exciting and colourful activities at Clip ‘n Climb, located on Exeter’s historic quayside. Book your climbing sessions here.

13:00: Feeling peckish after that climbing? Head over to On the Waterfront, a 5 minute stroll away, a favourite independent restaurant known in Exeter for their freshly made, dustbin lid pizzas! Visit their website to book your table.

15:00: Now you have your fuel for the afternoon - get on the water and hire a paddleboard, canoe or kayak from AS Watersports, just a 5 minute walk towards the other side of the Quay, to experience the freedom along Exeter Canal! Click here to reserve your equipment for the afternoon! Did you know? Exeter Canal, aka Britain’s oldest ship canal, has recently been awarded prestigious national status of Heritage Harbour.

18:00: You deserve a treat after completing your New Year challenge day, head back up into Exeter’s city centre for your dinner reservation at Harry’s Restaurant. It’s now time for your next challenge, ‘Harry’s Heart Attack Sundae’ – it’s claimed that two will struggle, one will fail! Reserve your table here.
