Exeter
Europe is one of the five inhabited traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. On the east, Europe is divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains and by the Caspian Sea. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area and third-largest continent after Asia and Africa in population.
The city of Exeter is the county town of Devon, in the southwest of England, also known as the West Country. In 2001, the population of the city was 111,066 and an area of 47.03 square kilometers. The Latin name for Exeter, Isca Dumnoniorum, suggests that the city was originally a Celtic town, on the banks on the River Exe.
The city provides strong industries and services to a sizable area. The University of Exeter has two campuses in the city, both notable for their attractive parkland. It is one of the biggest employers in the city. Exeter is one of the four main sites of the University of Plymouth.
Exeter is the kind of town you daydream about. It is an attractive city with natural beauty and historical places, while traveling in Europe.
