Is Exeter safe for women?
I feel Exeter is a relatively safe city for women. It's a small city, but there are always plenty of people around. Obviously everyone should be cautious when walking/travelling alone at night, but apart from that it's a great city to visit.

One of the lowest crime rates in the UK. Feel free to travel and explore, day and night everywhere here! Also the city are mostly elderly and young uni students, you’re safe go on night clubs and parties.

I never worry about walking at night on my own in Exeter. The crime rate here is low in general. Of course, you always need to have your wits about you, but if you do, I think it is a pretty safe city.
