Exeter, is a place bursting with picturesque spots perfect for photography. If you live in or around Exeter, capturing its beauty can be a rewarding way to decorate your space. Let’s walk through some of the best spots you can photograph and print to give your home a personal touch.

The Quayside

Exeter's Quayside is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. You'll find historic warehouses converted into trendy cafes, colourful boats, and picturesque pathways along the River Exe. The Quayside is known for its lively atmosphere and scenic views - a photo here can bring a bit of this lively charm into your living room or kitchen. The reflections on the water, especially during sunrise or sunset, make for striking photographs that can brighten any space.

Exeter Cathedral                                                     

The Exeter Cathedral was built in the 12th and 14th centuries in the Gothic style featuring stunning details, from intricate stone carvings to beautiful stained glass windows. Snapping a photo of this grand structure can add a touch of elegance and history to your home, so try shooting during different times of the day to capture various lighting conditions - each photo will provide a different viewpoint, and you can display them in frames with multiple cut-out mounts.

Dartmoor National Park

Just a stone’s throw away from Exeter lies the stunning Dartmoor National Park. It's a haven for photography enthusiasts, with its rugged landscapes, ancient woodlands, and serene moorlands. Whether it’s a panoramic shot of the vast moorlands or a close-up of wild ponies, your photos will add a touch of nature’s tranquillity to your home. 

Exeter's Historic Guildhall

And then there’s The Guildhall - one of the oldest municipal buildings in the country, dating back to 1160. With its rich history and stunning architecture, it makes for an impressive photo subject. English Heritage highlights the Guildhall as a key historical site in Exeter. Capture the intricate details of its exterior or the grandeur of its chamber interiors. A well-framed photo of the Guildhall can add a vintage and sophisticated look to your home décor.

Topsham

With its narrow streets, historic buildings, and marinas, Topsham is pure gold for your camera. You can  capture the quaint houses or the scenic estuary views, and you'll even find it's got a proper nautical vibe. It is perfect for giving your home that cosy, seaside feel. Chuck one of these photos in your hallway or study, and you’ve got yourself an instant mood-lifter. The coastal serenity just radiates out of these images, making your place feel like a true retreat. 

Each image brings a touch of history, charm, and natural beauty into your private space. Whether it’s the awe-inspiring architecture or the lush green parks, turning these local wonders into wall art can transform your home in the best way.
