Exeter is a city in England. It is the county town of Devon. Its population is just over 100,000. In the city are Exeter Cathedral, a ruined castle and much of the old Roman City wall.

Exeter was built by the Romans, who called it Isca Dumnoniorum. After the Romans left and the Anglo-Saxons moved in in the seventh century, the name changed to Exeter.

Later Exeter was a centre of resistance to the Norman conquest.

Today it is home to the Meteorological Office, which forecasts the country's weather.
