🔦 Discover Exeter's Fascinating Underground Passages 🔦
Step beneath the streets of Exeter and explore a hidden world that has intrigued visitors for centuries.
Designed in medieval times to bring fresh drinking water from natural springs outside the city walls, Exeter's remarkable Underground Passages are unlike anything else in Britain. These vaulted tunnels have witnessed wars, sieges, plague outbreaks and centuries of city life, making them one of Exeter's most unique historical attractions.
Your visit begins in the interactive interpretation centre, where you'll learn how the passages were constructed and why they played such an important role in the city's history. You'll then enjoy a guided tour beneath the city streets, led by knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides who bring the story of the tunnels to life.
