Exeter

Exeter, a typical rural service town, is located 24 km north of Launceston on the West Tamar Highway. Although it is an important town for the local area - it lies at the centre of a large area noted for its orchards, dairy and beef cattle and its sheep herds - it has little of historic interest and is commonly passed through by travellers eager to explore the historically significant Beaconsfield and Beauty Point to the north.
