About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

Quay House Visitor Centre traces two thousand years of Exeter's history in an audio-visual presentation of the city from Roman times to the present day. The building was once used to store cloth and other goods before they were loaded and transported down the canal. It also had an overhanging roof, which enabled cargos to load and unload out of the rain. Learn about the history of the Quayside through lively displays, illustrations and artefacts. You can do a Quayside treasure hunt and the gift shop sells local pottery, replica maps and a wide range of local interest books.
