Exeter is one of the prettiest cities in the UK and sits in a prime location close to some of the most spectacular countryside and coast that this country has to offer. It’s no wonder it’s a popular destination for retirement living.

This ancient city dates back to Roman times - there are even Roman walls to walk around, and it’s rich in history, culture, cobbled streets and quaint or impressive listed buildings, like the iconic gothic Exeter Cathedral.

There are lots of interesting things to do and see in Exeter , from the fascinating Underground Passages to the award-winning Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery and popular Exeter Northcott Theatre. You’ll find quirky independent shops on the gorgeous Gandy Street and big brands at the Guildhall Shopping Centre, whereas the attractive Quayside offers a wealth of modern restaurants, shops, bars and public spaces for festivals.

Topsham Town is a short drive away from Orchid Place, with a wide range of pubs and eateries to explore on the banks of the Rive Exe – you can even take in a wine tour at Pebblebed Vineyard. And if you fancy some sea air, the beautiful sandy beach at Exmouth is just a half hour drive or train trip away. Exmouth Beach is the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is on the South West coastal path too.
