INCLUDED EXCURSION

St Peters Cathedral with its two magnificent towers has been dominating the city's skyline since 1114. The Cathedral is one of Exeter's most popular and well-known visitor attractions. Shopping in Exeter is real must. It easily provides visitors with an unforgettable shopping experience with so much on offer from stylish boutiques to the high street big names.
OPTIONAL EXCURSION
Dorchester & Weymouth (5 days)
The beautiful market town of Dorchester is the county town of Dorset. It is steeped in history and culture and boasts great places to visit, shop and eat. No holiday in Dorset would be complete without a visit to this fascinating town and its 6000 years of history.
Wednesday is Market Day. Continuing a short distance to Weymouth- one of the UK's most beautiful seaside resorts, and blessed with one of its sunniest and warmest climates, Weymouth offers a huge amount of activities and attractions to offer people of all ages. The great thing about Weymouth as place to visit is the amount of fun things to do - all within a relatively short distance of the town. in fact the beach at Weymouth is so good it’s worth visiting for that alone - you won't find a safer beach with nicer sand anywhere in Dorset!
Return Day – After breakfast your homeward journey commences and with ample refreshment stops on the way you will arrive back in your local towns mid evening.
