There is one that leaves Exeter at 10.23am and arrives in Piccadilly at about 3.00pm. There are frequent trains from there to the airport. You might be better flying up from Exeter airport, using Flybe. It is around the same price as the train.

Royal Albert Memorial Museum

by KingSeany

The Royal Albert Memorial Museum, in Queen Street, Exeter is renowned throughout the World for it's wonderful collection of ancient artefacts. With 16 galleries of exhibits to see, including fine art, clocks, silverware, archaelogy, ceramics and Worldwide cutltures. No visitor to Exeter should miss the opportunity to venture back in time - completely free of charge (opening times 10-5, Mon-Sat). The museum is run by Exeter City Council, and was opened in 1865. The building itself is in a Ventian Gothic style of architecture, inside the gift shop, cafe and various workshops offer something for everyone.

Amongst the most treasured items, is the famous Exeter Puzzle Jug, a medieval (around 1300ad) joke. The jug which originated in France, was was found in fragments in South Street in 1899, and wonderfully restored at the British Museum in the 1930s. The jug has remained in the Exeter museum ever since. Puzzle jugs are were made so that the person attempting to drink from them would unsuspectantly spill the liquid over themselves. However, strangely, and perhaps part of the joke, the Exeter jug, can be drunk from without any spillage! The jug is housed in a special glass case in the museum. Close examination would show many more jokes within the jug...including the donkey shaped handle, and the naked clergymen.

EXETER DEVON ENGLAND

by LoriPori

"HISTORIC EXETER"

Visiting Exeter, Devon England was part of the school group tour I took in 1968. I was 20 years old and travelling with a wonderful group of senior high school kids from the Windsor area. I don't remember a lot about it, but I do remember the 25th century Guildhall, the Exeter Cathedral and going on the River Dart Steamboat Trip and seeing many wild Dartmouth Ponies along the trip.
Our group stayed in Moberly House at the University of Exeter.
