Explore Exeter Cathedral at ground level to discover its finest medieval features, before heading upwards, into its fascinating roof space. Walk high above the nave, along the vaulted ceiling, and learn about the ‘racking’ that might have resulted the complete destruction of the roof. You will also discover the lead room that was once used for smelting, and visit the bell-ringing chamber. Stepping through a Norman window into the flag room you will then continue to the top of the Cathedral’s Romanesque North Tower* to take in breathtaking views across Exeter and beyond.
