On the wall



The map
Exeter sits on a ridge above the River Exe in Devon, and the shape of the medieval city is still easy to read on the map. The line of the old city walls, much of which survives, encloses the historic centre, with the cathedral close at its heart and streets dropping down toward the river.
The Romans founded the city as Isca Dumnoniorum, and later centuries added the cathedral, the quay and the Exeter Ship Canal, begun in the 1560s and one of the oldest artificial waterways in England. Heavy bombing in 1942 destroyed part of the centre, which was rebuilt in the decades that followed.
An Exeter map poster shows these layers side by side: the walled centre, the river and canal running in parallel to the southwest, and the university campus on the hills to the north. The balance of dense old streets and open green space makes for a composed, detailed image.

The River Exe and the Exeter Ship Canal run side by side toward the estuary, two parallel lines of water that anchor the southern half of the poster.
North of the centre, the university campus spreads across hilly, wooded grounds, showing as curving paths and open land on the map.

Why Exeter
Exeter means a lot to former students, longtime residents and anyone who has walked along the quay or the walls. A map of its streets is a lasting reminder of a city with a long past and a clear sense of place.
