With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Exeter, 35 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Exeter Cathedral, Exeter Northcott Theatre and Exeter Golf and Country Club. Located 35 miles away, Tiverton is another popular destination. If you swing by, don’t miss Diggerland, Knightshayes Court and Devon Badger Watch.
