Mudbanks opposite Topsham Taken from on board the MV My Queen on an RSPB organised cruise. These are permanent moorings on West Mud opposite Topsham that will be used from the spring through summer to the autumn. The rich mud is why the Exe is important for birds. The gulls here are Black headed gulls (Larus ridibundus), and on the waters' edge to the right can be seen a Redshank (Tringa totanus).

Exeter Cathedral
In the 2nd century the Romans built a sturdy wall around Exeter, which lasted for centuries. However in the 4th century Roman civilization began to decline. The populations of the towns fell. The last Roman soldiers left Britain in 407 AD and the Roman way of life slowly disappeared. People drifted away from the towns to the countryside and returned to a simpler way of life.
