interesting tour of the old waterway passages running underneath exeter's busy high st - not for the claustrophobic!
2 Paris Street, Exeter, 01392 265695, were built to house the pipes that brought clean drinking water into medieval Exeter. A guided tour of Exeter's underground passages is a memorable event narrow, dark, interesting and excited.
"There’s a burrow of passages under Exeter, excavated in Medieval times to bring drinking water to the city. The water travelled through lead pipes, and to make them easier to maintain and avoid digging up the city, the pipes were kept in large vaults. You can put on a hardhat and head underground to see these tunnels for yourself, where you’ll find centuries-old masons’ marks and graffiti. Before the guided tour you’ll visit the heritage centre, which has pieces of the old lead pipe in a glass case and interactive displays on topics like hydraulics."
