Car Rental Exeter

Exeter is a county town of Devon in the southwest of England, and has many sightseeing opportunities once you have picked up your car rental from Thrifty Car Rental. Some things you may want to visit are Exeter Cathedral, Rougemont Gardens and Northernhay Gardens, as well as many other different historic buildings.

One of the first stops you should make in your car rental is Exeter Cathedral; an imposing building that dates to 1050 and is dedicated to Saint Peter. There are many beautiful things to see inside, such as the organ, the minstrels’ gallery and the clock. The clock is actually an astronomical clock, which shows the time and position of the sun as well as the age and phase of the moon.

Northernhay Gardens and Rougemont Gardens are worth a trip in your car rental, located around the ruins of Rougemont Castle. Rougemont Castle was built in 1068 to help William the Conqueror maintain control over the city, and is located on the top of a volcanic plug. It is closed to public, but the parks have been open since 1612, designed as a pleasure walk for the people of Exeter. There are a number of statues and memorial to take in at Northernhay Gardens, which is a Victorian garden with beautiful trees and flowers.

You can also take your car rental to the city centre, which has many different medieval churches and other notable buildings you can explore. Guildhall, which is still used today for civic functions and City Council meetings, or Parliament Street, which claims to be the narrowest street in the world. There is so much to do in Exeter, having a car rental from Thrifty Car Rental will help you visit them all without worry or stress.
