Underground Passages

Tours of Exeter's Underground Passages were suspended in 2020 – see online for updates. When they open prepare to crouch down, don a hard hat and possibly get spooked in what is the only publicly accessible system of its kind in England. The medieval vaulted passages were built to house pipes bringing fresh water to the city. Guides lead you on a scramble through the network, relating tales of ghosts, escape routes and cholera.
