Exeter also has a beautiful example of Roman walling, much of it still extant, which you can follow along a circular route. In addition the trip underground into the medieval passages once used for conducting fresh water into the city are very interesting. Northenhay Gardens and Rougemont Gardens interconnect just off the High Street. They incorporate the oldest public open space in England, initially laid out in 1612, and extensively re-landscaped in the 18th century. The gardens contain the remains of 12th century Rougemont Castle Gatehouse, a fine section of Roman wall, and England's only remaining length of Saxon town wall.an
