SSSusan:
You're the second person to write today (one off-list) about the 
glories of Exeter!  This is exactly what I was hoping for -- 
suggestions why one might want to make a visit or take a pass.  The 
gardens and Roman wall sound lovely, and my other correspondent (hi, 
Mary Ann!) mentioned a nice river-walk and the lovely cathedral, as 
well.

Thank you.  This one's now back in the running for a day excursion.
