the Food on campus section on page 56 for 

more details. In the city centre there are Tesco 

and Sainsbury’s supermarkets where you can 

buy ingredients and readymade meals. 

A range of international food can be brought 

from shops near the football ground, around 

Old Tiverton Road and Well Street. Halal

such as Vodafone and Orange, and also more 

general phone shops, such as Carphone

importance; the site was added to the UNESCO’s list of World Heritage 

Sites in 1986. 

the methods used and the reasons for the construction of stonehenge 

are largely unknown and there are many theories about them, often called 

the “mystery of stonehenge”. It has been said that it would have taken 30 

million man hours to complete. Proposed functions for the site include 

usage as an astronomical observatory, or as a religious site. other theories 

have advanced supernatural or symbolic explanations for the construction.

beliefs, such as neo-druids. It is the location for annual festivals 

marking the summer and winter solstices.

The Cathedral is easy to find as its 

spire is 123 metres tall and is visible 

from everywhere in the city. The 

spire can be seen from the inside on 

a tower tour of the Cathedral. The 

Cathedral may be most recognisable 

for being the setting for Hogwarts in 

Harry Potter, which was written by 

Exeter Alumnus J.K. Rowling. The 

surrounding Cathedral close contains 

historic schools and houses, as well 

as museums that are worth a visit.

yourself at the Thermae Bath Spa. 

The city has many other museums and 

theatres, including the Theatre Royal, the 

Fashion Museum, which tells the story of 

fashion over the past 400 years, the Bath 

Postal Museum and the Jane Austen Centre, 

which tells the story of one of Britain’s most 

famous authors. The Victoria Art Gallery 

shows work by artists from the 15th century 

to the present day. You can also visit Sally 

Lunn’s Refreshment House for some food in 

the oldest house in Bath. 

No visit to Bath is complete without a visit to 

Pulteney Bridge. Designed around 1770 by 

Robert Adam, the bridge is also a shopping 

arcade. It is one of only two bridges in 

Europe that serve this dual purpose, which 

explains why it is one of the main tourist 

attractions in Bath. 

Bath has an excellent reputation as a 

shopping destination, with shops to suit all 

tastes and styles. The award-winning Milsom 

Street is great for designer shopping, Green 

Park Station Market offers food and arts and 

crafts products, and the Southgate Centre 

(Bath’s new covered shopping development) 

is also worth a visit. 

One of Bath’s most famous sights is the 

award-winning Royal Crescent, a beautiful 

collection of 30 residential houses. This 

reputation has encouraged film producers to 

include the Royal Crescent in recent films, 

such as The Duchess.

St Ives 

WEDNESDAY 8 AUGUST 

Meet outside Holland Hall at 7.30am – coach to depart at 7.45am. Coach will 

depart St Ives at 3.45pm for travel back to Exeter. 

www.stives-cornwall.co.uk 

St Ives is an old fishing town and thriving 

tourist destination set amongst the beautiful 

sandy beaches and rolling countryside of 

the Cornish coast. The town is a maze of 

small streets with a multitude of gift shops, 

cafés selling the world famous Cornish pasty 

and art galleries – all situated around a small 

harbour and headland. There is plenty to 

do, whether you like shopping, surfing, 

walking or art. 

beaches 

On the north coast of St Ives, Porthmeor 

Beach has a good reputation for surfing and 

its location is ideal for people also wanting 

to visit Tate St Ives. Porthgwidden Beach is 

another option that is located to the east of 

Porthmeor Beach. Porthminster Beach is to 

the southeast of St Ives and is the longest 

beach in the town. For those fancying a 

longer stroll, a walk along the coast will 

bring you to the wide expanse of Carbis 

Bay. There are also dramatic cliff top walks 

to the west of the town for those of you 

wanting to explore the wilder side of the 

Cornish coast. 

The harbour is a reminder of the fishing 

industry that the town used to thrive on. 

The harbour is also the location for the St 

Ives Lifeboat Station and the eighteenth 

century Smeatons Pier. Alongside the 

harbour wall are a variety of shops, 

restaurants, fish and chip shops and also a 

small beach. 

A popular activity is taking an hour’s boat 

trip to Seal Island 3.5 miles west of St Ives, 

where you can enjoy undisturbed seal 

watching. After leaving St Ives harbour, you 

will round the beautiful rugged Cornish cliffs 

and secluded coves, heading west to Seal 

Island. Tickets for the boat trip to Seal Island 

are purchased from Derek who you will 

find outside the St Ives Lifeboat Station. 

art 

St Ives has a rich artistic tradition and there 

are many art galleries in the town, the 

most famous of which is the Tate St Ives, 

a branch of the world famous Tate Gallery 

in London. The Tate shows 20th century 

art, as well as changing exhibitions on the 

best of contemporary Cornish art. There 

are a number of other galleries in the area 

including the Barbara Hepworth Museum 

and Sculpture Garden, Cornerstone Gallery 

and the Mozaic Gallery. 

The Tourist Information Office can be found 

at The Guildhall, Street-an-Pol, St Ives,

Health and safety 

Accidents 

In case of any emergency where you 

require assistance from International 

Summer School staff from 9am-5pm, 

Monday - Friday, you should call 01392 

722148 or 07580 159718. out of these 

hours please call 07583 350682. 

Fire alarm procedures 

everyone should familiarise themselves with 

the location of fire alarms, fire extinguishers 

and the emergency exits of the buildings 

they are in. there is an alarm notice in each 

room in Holland Hall which explains the fire 

procedures. 

If you discover a fire: 

• sound the alarm 

• call the fire brigade (if using an internal 

phone, dial 9 then 999) 

• notify Estate Patrol – call 3999 then (or if 

you hear the fire alarm) 

• leave the building by the most direct 

route 

• close all doors 

• do not use the lift 

• lecturers will supervise evacuation of the 

lecture halls 

• you will be instructed as to the location 

of the assembly point 

• do not return until the Safety Officer 

tells you. 

Insurance 

We recommend that you insure your 

possessions, especially valuable items, 

such as computers, so that you can 

replace them in the event of theft. It is also 

recommended that you choose insurance 

that covers accidents to be sure that you 

are protected in the event of an accident. 

Crime and 

personal security 

exeter is one of the safest cities in the uk 

but there are common sense principles 

you should adhere to: 

• Do not carry large amounts of cash 

with you and try to avoid showing your 

wallet/purse too much in public places. 

• If possible, go out in groups at night 

and think about helping other students 

home. 

• Only use licensed taxis. The drivers 

should have their permits showing and a 

meter on display.

If you are ill 

If illness or personal 

problems are affecting your 

time with us, you should 

contact your buddy or the 

International Office, who 

will provide assistance. 

If you need help obtaining 

medical treatment, please 

contact the International 

Office staff who will be 

happy to assist. Out of 

office hours emergency 

contacts are listed on the 

back of this booklet. 

If you are a European 

Economic Area (EEA) 

student or Swiss National 

and you bring a completed 

E128 from your own 

national health authority, 

you will be eligible for 

treatment for all conditions 

including pre-existing 

ones. You must be an EEA 

resident who is “ordinarily 

resident” in the EEA for this 

to apply. 

If you are not from a 

country with a reciprocal 

agreement, you are 

not entitled to free 

health care under the 

National Health Service 

other than emergency 

treatment in a hospital 

casualty department. 

Health care in the UK 

can be very expensive. 

You must therefore 

take out comprehensive 

medical insurance before 

you leave your home 

country. Please check 

with your Embassy/High 

Commission whether you 

have a reciprocal health 

agreement. 

If you are currently taking 

medicines, please make 

sure you bring adequate 

medication for the duration 

of the International 

Summer School and ensure 

that you inform Lucy 

Thompson before your 

arrival in the UK.

Money and budgeting 

there is no limit on the amount of money you can bring with you into 

britain, but you may need the approval of exchange control in your own 

country. You should make sure you bring enough money to cover your 

personal expenses for the duration of the International Summer School. You 

might consider bringing cash, travellers cheques, a cash card or credit card 

with you. Please do not carry large amounts of cash with you or keep large 

amounts of cash in your room. 

There is a Natwest bank (open: 

9-4.30pm, Mon to Fri) and a Santander 

bank (open: 10-6pm, Mon to Fri) on 

campus where you can exchange 

travellers cheques. There are also a 

number of banks in the centre of Exeter. 

You will need to check with your own 

bank whether your credit card or cash 

card is valid for use in the UK and what 

charges may apply. 

Personal spending 

You will need some money for personal 

purchases including drinks, snacks, phone 

calls and other personal items. You may 

find that the cost of living in the UK is 

higher than in your own country. Here is 

an idea of how much various items cost 

in the UK (although prices can be higher 

still in London): 

• Daily newspaper 50p - £1.20 

• Paperback books £6.00 plus 

• Magazines £2.00 - £5.00 

• Cup of coffee £1.00 - £3.00 

• Cup of tea 80p + 

• Non-alcoholic drinks £1.00+ 

• Glass of wine £3.00+ 

• Pack of cigarettes (20) £6.43+ 

The cost of an evening out will vary. 

There is a wide range of places and 

prices in Exeter. For example if you go 

clubbing at the weekend in Exeter you 

would expect to pay £5.00-£7.00 entry 

costs.
