congested, routes into the city. Most major car-hire firms have branches in the city or at
the airport. The very centre of Exeter is off-limits to cars, but not buses.

buses run from Sowton (near M5, junction 30), Matford (near M5 junction 31) and
Honiton Rd (near M5, junction 29) every 10 minutes, Monday to Saturday from around
7am to 6pm. The parking itself is free; you just pay the bus fare (adult/child return £2.25/
