Exeter Quay的点评
点评：Wednesday 19th March and we walked from Exe Bridge along the towpath in the direction of the historic Quays.
Walking along the pathway we passed the Cricklepit footbridge which spans the River Exe, which we walked across later on across to Haven Banks.
We followed the pathway around which led us to the impressive Customs House with the two old canons standing proudly outside it's door.
From there we ventured down the Quay with it's restored tall old warehouses. On the wall of one of them, the former Maritime Museum, there is a plaque to commemorate Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee in 1977. The inscription reads:- "Since Roman times Exeter traded from this Quay, first by river, then from 1566 through the Exeter Canal, the earliest in the Country. These warehouses date from 1835".
As we continued along the quayside we passed a number of archways at the base of the sandstone cliffs, that form and shape the Quays and provide an impressive backdrop to the riverside. In the past the archways were used for dry storage within the busy working Quay. Today they are home to an array of arts and craft business, including woodwork, metalwork, glass and other assorted crafts.
As we wandered in and out of the various workshops we saw some rather unusual and creative pieces.
Another interesting feature were the old fashioned lights along the waterfront.
There were a number of restaurants and bars here, ensuring that visitor are not hungry or thirsty. Some had tables and seating outside along the quayside.
As we visited here outside the summer season not all establishments were not yet open. The iconic Butts Ferry, across the River, was not operational. We did cross the River by means of the Cricklepit footbridge.
Overall a great place to walk around and enjoy this historic Quay and its contents.

翻译：3月19日，星期三，我们从埃克斯桥出发，沿着纤道走向历史悠久的码头。
沿着小路，我们经过了横跨埃克斯河的克里克皮特人行桥，之后我们又穿过了这条桥，来到了海文河岸。
我们沿着小路绕了一圈，来到了令人印象深刻的海关大楼，两门古老的大炮傲然矗立在门外。
从那里，我们沿着码头前行，那里有几座修复后的高大古老仓库。其中一座仓库，也就是前海事博物馆，墙上挂着一块纪念伊丽莎白女王1977年登基银禧的牌匾。上面刻着：“自罗马时代以来，埃克塞特就从这个码头进行贸易，最初是通过河运，后来从1566年开始通过埃克塞特运河，这是英国最早的运河。这些仓库的历史可以追溯到1835年。”
我们沿着码头继续前行，经过了砂岩悬崖底部的几座拱门，它们塑造了码头的形态，也为河岸提供了令人印象深刻的背景。过去，这些拱门曾被用作繁忙码头内的干货仓库。如今，这里汇聚了各种手工艺品，包括木工、金属制品、玻璃制品和其他各种工艺品。
我们漫步于各个工坊之间，看到了一些颇具特色且富有创意的作品。
另一个有趣的亮点是沿着海滨的老式灯饰。
这里有许多餐厅和酒吧，确保游客不会感到饥饿或口渴。有些餐厅在码头边设有户外桌椅。
由于我们并非在夏季前往，所以并非所有场所都已开放。河对岸标志性的巴茨渡轮（Butts Ferry）当时尚未运营。我们通过克里克皮特（Cricklepit）人行天桥过河。
总的来说，这是一个漫步游览这座历史悠久的码头及其周边景点的好地方。
