Living in Exeter ShoppingShop opening timesShops are usually open from 9.00am until 6.00pm from Monday to Saturday. Many shops also open on Sundays from 10.30am until 4.30pm. Some food shops and supermarkets stay open until 10.00pm from Monday to Saturday but close earlier on Sundays.

FoodThere are shops on campus selling food; see the Food on campus section on page 56 for more details. In the city centre there are Tesco and Sainsbury’s supermarkets where you can buy ingredients and readymade meals.

A range of international food can be brought from shops near the football ground, around Old Tiverton Road and Well Street. Halal products can be purchased from R.L.Hira International Food Supermarket and Continental Food Stores, situated in this area.

Post Office The main post office is situated on Bedford Street in the Princesshay Shopping area. It is open from 9.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday.

TelephonesA local phone call costs 30p or more. All phone calls are cheaper after 6pm and at the weekend. Nearly all calls can be dialled and it is expensive to use the operator. Most pay phones now use cards rather than coins and phone cards can be bought at post offices and newsagents. It is cheaper to use a phone card from an independent phone company when you want to phone abroad. These are available from shops around Sidwell Street in the city centre. Alternatively you can purchase a mobile phone for use in the UK during your stay. The best option is a pay as you go phone as you will not be tied down to a long term contract and do not have to provide a deposit. There are shops on the High Street in the city centre for the individual phone companies, such as Vodafone and Orange, and also more general phone shops, such as Carphone Warehouse.

ReligionThere is a multi-faith chaplaincy at the University, which has a team of 15 Chaplains as well as some Assistants covering Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Bahai. The Chaplaincy can also provide details of all the world faiths who meet in the city. There are Catholic and Anglican chapels on the Streatham Campus and Muslim prayer rooms in the Old Library. There is a Synagogue on Mary Arches Street, close to the city centre, and there is a Mosque on York Road, about 15 minutes walk from the University.

Stonehenge is a 5,000 year old monument, composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Such is its importance;thesitewasaddedtotheUNESCO’slistofWorldHeritageSitesin1986.

The methods used and the reasons for the construction of Stonehenge are largely unknown and there are many theories about them, often called the“mysteryofStonehenge”.Ithasbeensaidthatitwouldhavetaken30million man hours to complete. Proposed functions for the site include usage as an astronomical observatory, or as a religious site. Other theories have advanced supernatural or symbolic explanations for the construction.

Stonehenge is a place of pilgrimage for people following pagan and non-pagan beliefs, such as neo-druids. It is the location for annual festivals marking the summer and winter solstices.

Stonehenge and Salisbury SATURDAY 28 JULY

SalisburyThe magnificent medieval city of Salisbury has it all – historic streets and alleyways, charming half-timbered buildings, traditional English eating houses and characterful shopping streets, not to mention a superb range of attractions, including one of the UK’s finest medieval cathedrals.

Salisbury CathedralThe Cathedral was completed in 1258. It contains the best preserved of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta (the English legal charter of 1215) and the oldest surviving mechanical clock in Britain. The Cathedral is easy to find as its spire is 123 metres tall and is visible from everywhere in the city. The spire can be seen from the inside on

a tower tour of the Cathedral. The Cathedral may be most recognisable for being the setting for Hogwarts in Harry Potter, which was written by Exeter Alumnus J.K. Rowling. The surrounding Cathedral close contains historic schools and houses, as well as museums that are worth a visit.

ShoppingSalisbury has a mix of well known chain shops and smaller independent shops. On Saturdays it is worth paying a visit to the Charter Market to sample the products that have kept the market going for 800 years.

The Salisbury Tourist Information Office is located at Fish Row, Salisbury, SP1 1EJ.

The Eden Project WEDNESDAY 1 AUGUST

This Landmark Millennium Project has attracted over ten million visitors since its opening in the year 2000. Created as a festival of plants, it is based around three domes each representing a different climate. These domes, the largest greenhouses in the world, take visitors round the world’s flora. The tropical dome includes the biggest seed in the world, and a plant that can grow up to a metre a day, whilst the Mediterranean dome takes you across the equator to South Africa, and onwards to experience the grandeur of the Californian landscape.

The broader aim of the Eden Project is to educate people to live more sustainably and throughout the grounds you will find exhibits, art work and displays that illustrate the issues involved. The Eden Project also has regular music concerts and art festivals.

Whilst exploring the Eden Project watch out for the numerous pieces of artwork around the grounds. If you would like to just sit back with a coffee there is no shortage of options with the eight cafés on site including the Mediterranean Kitchen and the Alpine Hut.

Bath SATURDAY 4 AUGUST

Bath is a historic city with a population of approximately 85,000 people. The city has been a world heritage site since 1987, recognising its international cultural significance, with 3.8 million tourists visiting the city every year, attracted by museums, theatres and other cultural attractions.

One of the main attractions is the baths and surrounding temple that were built by the Romans around the only naturally occurring hot springs in the United Kingdom. On a visit to the Roman Baths Museum it is possible to see Roman artefacts and learn more about how the original citizens of Bath lived. You can now sample the restorative waters yourself at the Thermae Bath Spa.

The city has many other museums and theatres, including the Theatre Royal, the Fashion Museum, which tells the story of fashion over the past 400 years, the Bath Postal Museum and the Jane Austen Centre, which tells the story of one of Britain’s most famous authors. The Victoria Art Gallery shows work by artists from the 15th century to the present day. You can also visit Sally Lunn’s Refreshment House for some food in the oldest house in Bath.

No visit to Bath is complete without a visit to Pulteney Bridge. Designed around 1770 by Robert Adam, the bridge is also a shopping arcade. It is one of only two bridges in Europe that serve this dual purpose, which explains why it is one of the main tourist attractions in Bath.

Bath has an excellent reputation as a shopping destination, with shops to suit all tastes and styles. The award-winning Milsom Street is great for designer shopping, Green Park Station Market offers food and arts and crafts products, and the Southgate Centre (Bath’s new covered shopping development) is also worth a visit.

One of Bath’s most famous sights is the award-winning Royal Crescent, a beautiful collection of 30 residential houses. This reputation has encouraged film producers to include the Royal Crescent in recent films, such as The Duchess.

The Tourist Information Office can be found at Abbey Chambers, Abbey Churchyard, Bath, BA1 1LY.

St Ives WEDNESDAY 8 AUGUST

St Ives is an old fishing town and thriving tourist destination set amongst the beautiful sandy beaches and rolling countryside of the Cornish coast. The town is a maze of small streets with a multitude of gift shops, cafés selling the world famous Cornish pasty and art galleries – all situated around a small harbour and headland. There is plenty to do, whether you like shopping, surfing, walking or art.

BeachesOn the north coast of St Ives, Porthmeor Beach has a good reputation for surfing and its location is ideal for people also wanting to visit Tate St Ives. Porthgwidden Beach is another option that is located to the east of Porthmeor Beach. Porthminster Beach is to the southeast of St Ives and is the longest beach in the town. For those fancying a longer stroll, a walk along the coast will bring you to the wide expanse of Carbis Bay. There are also dramatic cliff top walks to the west of the town for those of you wanting to explore the wilder side of the Cornish coast.

The harbour is a reminder of the fishing industry that the town used to thrive on. The harbour is also the location for the St Ives Lifeboat Station and the eighteenth

century Smeatons Pier. Alongside the harbour wall are a variety of shops, restaurants, fish and chip shops and also a small beach.

A popular activity is taking an hour’s boat trip to Seal Island 3.5 miles west of St Ives, where you can enjoy undisturbed seal watching. After leaving St Ives harbour, you will round the beautiful rugged Cornish cliffs and secluded coves, heading west to Seal Island. Tickets for the boat trip to Seal Island are purchased from Derek who you will find outside the St Ives Lifeboat Station.

ArtSt Ives has a rich artistic tradition and there are many art galleries in the town, the most famous of which is the Tate St Ives, a branch of the world famous Tate Gallery in London. The Tate shows 20th century art, as well as changing exhibitions on the best of contemporary Cornish art. There are a number of other galleries in the area including the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, Cornerstone Gallery and the Mozaic Gallery.

The Tourist Information Office can be found at The Guildhall, Street-an-Pol, St Ives, TR26 2DS.

Money and budgeting

There is a Natwest bank (open: 9-4.30pm, Mon to Fri) and a Santander bank (open: 10-6pm, Mon to Fri) on campus where you can exchange travellers cheques. There are also a number of banks in the centre of Exeter. You will need to check with your own bank whether your credit card or cash card is valid for use in the UK and what charges may apply.

Personal spendingYou will need some money for personal purchases including drinks, snacks, phone calls and other personal items. You may find that the cost of living in the UK is higher than in your own country. Here is an idea of how much various items cost in the UK (although prices can be higher still in London):

• Daily newspaper 50p - £1.20

• Paperback books £6.00 plus

• Magazines £2.00 - £5.00

• Cup of coffee £1.00 - £3.00

• Cup of tea 80p +

• Non-alcoholic drinks £1.00+

• Glass of wine £3.00+

• Pack of cigarettes (20) £6.43+

The cost of an evening out will vary. There is a wide range of places and prices in Exeter. For example if you go clubbing at the weekend in Exeter you would expect to pay £5.00-£7.00 entry costs.

There is no limit on the amount of money you can bring with you into

Britain, but you may need the approval of exchange control in your own

country.Youshouldmakesureyoubringenoughmoneytocoveryour

might consider bringing cash, travellers cheques, a cash card or credit card
