“Mum, why does watching the parade make me feel tearful?”
My daughter asked me this today - and her friend said exactly the same thing.
We watched the Pride march on Exeter High Street, and choking back my own tears, I told them: when people come together with love, magic happens.
Choose LOVE every time.
Exeter is looking resplendent today.
Happy Pride 🏳️🌈

🌿🚶♀️ National Walking Month in Exeter! 🚶♂️🌿
This May, discover the beauty of getting outdoors with a visit to the stunning @haldonforestpark - just a short journey from Exeter and the perfect place to reconnect with nature. 🌳✨
Whether you’re after peaceful woodland strolls, family-friendly trails, or scenic views across Devon, Haldon Forest is the ideal spot to embrace fresh air, wellbeing, and adventure this National Walking Month.
From gentle walks to more challenging routes, there’s something for everyone - plus plenty of wildlife, picnic spots, and open space to explore at your own pace. 🐦🍃

Mind the steps (and cobbles).🧱
When you travel along Stepcote Hill, you're following in the footsteps of Romans as the hill was used as the main route into Exeter from the river since Roman times.🏺
If you're wondering about the name, it is believed to come from the Old English word for steep, rather than from step, and cote for enclosure.
The streets of Exeter are paved with history and interesting stories. Join one of our free Red Coat Guided Tours to find out more.❤️
