The Quay is the alternative shopping experience. The majority of the shops are independently owned and not part of large 'chain' companies. The emphasis is on a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and quality of service. The Coffee Cellar sits on the edge of the river, its outside tables flooded with sunlight throughout the day while the boats, duck and swans glide by. The mood is tranquil and nothing is rushed, hours can be spent browsing the unique shops and crafts or just sitting in the sun with a drink in hand.

Custom House
The Custom House was constructed in 1680-1 by the Exeter Chamber, extended in 1791 and again in the early 19thcentury. It is a Grade I listed building of both local and national importance. It is one of the earliest examples of a purpose built brick customs house in the country and has some fine plasterwork ceilings. Its situation, just outside the city wall at the head of the navigable section of the River Exe, gives it a commanding view and it is probably only second to Exeter Cathedral in popularity with visitors and photographers to the city.
