Explore the story of Exeter

Exeter has one of the longest and most distinguished histories of any British city and you can explore over 250,000 years of it through our Time Trail website.

The story is told through hundreds of objects from RAMM's collections, and images of historic buildings and archaeological sites.

Search the site by using the timeline to pick a time period - from prehistory to the present day. Or search by themes to reveal stories about people's lives in the city over thousands of years.

Try our games and puzzles section to have a go at designing a Roman mosaic or dressing a Civil War soldier.
