    STEPS TO THE PASSAGE WAYS

    These medieval passage ways were built to supply some of Exeter with a constant supply of fresh water from the springs outside the walls.The water would travel through lead pipes.The pipes would sometimes leak,therefore to save alot of expense and digging up, the passage ways were built in the 13th century .Visitors can take a guided tour through the tunnels.

    The gateway to Rougemont Castle contains the oldest non-ecclesiastical Norman arch in the country.It was built after William the Conqueror marched into Exeter to resolve the first English Rebellion against his authority in 1068.The inner bailey of the Castle houses the county court built in 1774 for the assizes and is not opened to the public but you can explore the walls and gardens.

    Cathedral close is where the highest concentration of Grade 1 listed buildings are in Exeter,with narrow Tudor lanes branching off.There are some lovely little shops and cafes along here or you can sit in the grounds of the Cathedral.
