Explore Exeter at your own pace Medieval secrets linger in Exeter's winding lanes, where ancient church towers watch over tales of scandal and survival that most visitors never hear. This self-guided audio tour reveals the city's hidden depths and little-known landmarks-perfect for those curious to peel back the layers of everyday stone. What mysterious force kept Sacred Heart Church miraculously standing when bombs rained from the sky? Why did Exeter's bishop abandon his first cathedral and haul relics through the mud by royal command? How exactly do you move a medieval house-windows, beams, and even stubborn resident cats-without breaking history itself? Wander from soaring cathedrals to stubborn survivors of wartime fire. Hear whispers of rebellion, forgotten faiths, daring feats, and oddities lost in the cracks. With each turn you'll see Exeter not as a quiet city but a stage for dramatic acts and near-mythic moves.
