Exeter has a fair bit of history so an audio guide wouldn't go astray. It will be handy for walking around things like this and be able to pop in your earphones and hear some of the history and what has gone on when it comes to archaeology at the site.

Homelessness is a terrible thing, and I guess people need somewhere to shelter, but it's a shame they have to do it here. It felt like I shouldn't be there in their space. It's a bit rough, and a bit dirty, and really could do with a bit of investment and tlc. Otherwise it's a nice bit of history.

Exeter is one the most beautiful and Historical city in the UK(England) i use to live there 2011-2016
