A popular walk with a few shops and nighttime clubs. On the right hand side is Haven Banks - a large residential area.

Barbican Steps refers to the metalled roadway leading away from Exe Street, as well as the steps shown in [[167427]]. On the left is St Bartholomew's Lower Cemetery.

Taken in the same area as [[167427]], but lower down and from the adjoining St Bartholomew's Cemetery. The house on the left is on West View Terrace. The new building at the bottom (actually a block of six flats) is in Barbican Court, and the River Exe can just be glimpsed on its right, below Blackaller Weir.

A good 16 metres in length, this tree lies on the level valley floor part of the cemetery close to [[1059206]]. Above Exe Street and Dinham Crescent rises [[1059138]].

Like a gap on a Monopoly board. Some form of ancient stonework is hidden behind the graffiti covered boarding.

Looking down through the trees in [[595138]] to housing along the northwest side of Exe Street at the foot of the valley. On the right are houses on Dinham Crescent - see [[324622]]. Across the river is the Flowerpot Chill Zone skate park, with the Redhills area beyond.

Inscribed stones lean against the wall of St Bartholomew's Lower Cemetery, a little further southwest from [[1059147]]. The height of the wall keeps them just out of sight of the inhabitants of the modern houses opposite.

A slipway into the leat near Bonhay Road. The leat rejoins the Exe at Exeter Quay, having run past Exe Island on its right bank. For historical information on Exeter's leats, see http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/EM/exeter_leats.html . On the left is West View Terrace; on the right are [[346269]]. Looking downstream.

Behind this row of cottages is a leat - see [[289574]]. The oath in the foreground gives access from Bonhay Road. The cottages are close to the former Headweir paper mill, now the Mill on the Exe.

Looking down the valley slope on which the cemetery, also seen in [[595138]] and [[595143]], is built. Immediately below are leaning tombstones on top of a brick wall above a gravel path; below are chest tombs. Exe Street can be glimpsed at top left.

Mossy stones leaning against the west wall of St Bartholomew's Lower Cemetery. Across Exe Street are modern terraces.
