The Quay House was re-built in 1680-1 at the height of Exeter's woollen cloth industry. The building was used to store cloth and other goods before they were loaded and transported down the canal. It also had an overhanging roof, which enabled cargos to load and unload out of the rain.Today the history and development of Exeter's Quayside is brought to life with lively displays, illustrations and artefacts. There is also the opportunity to see "Exeter - 2,000 years of history," an exciting audio-visual presentation highlighting Exeter's history from Roman times to the present day.The Quay House Visitor Centre provides tourist information, Quayside treasure hunts, an accommodation booking service and a gift shop selling local pottery, replica maps and a wide range of local interest books.The Quay House Visitor Centre is the first attraction in Devon to be awarded VisitEngland's PIQAS Award (Place of Interest Quality Assurance Scheme).

First thing we noticed was how nice and well informed the staff where. We were immediately greeted and informed about an ongoing art gallery exhibit. Once inside, all items were properly labeled and tells a story of how Exeter Quay was once a pivotal and crucial in terms of commerce and trade of the town. We absolutely enjoyed being taken to the past. In the Information Centre, you will find pamphlets of where else to visit in Devon and Cornwall along with discount cards in the some of the great landmarks and must-visits in the area. Hats off the staff who are very attentive and informative.
