The location of many a gowned Exeter student’s graduation. It is likely that the “idea” of the great hall is where Rowling took her inspiration, rather than the aesthetic of the building itself. Personally I think the interior of the Cathedral looks rather more like “The Great Hall” at Hogwarts.
Exeter Cathedral boasts the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling in Europe (96m).
Cathedral Green is quite easily the most beautiful part of Exeter. Make sure to pop into the cafes for a bite to eat whilst you’re there.
