Ely

Ely

Ely in Cambridgeshire is a cathedral city just 14 miles from Cambridge. Although agriculture  is the main economy in this area the city attracts a lot of tourists due to the fact that the cathedral is one of Britain’s oldest and finest. 

There are plenty of independent shops in Ely and some good restaurants and traditional tea rooms. The architecture is of particular interest. 

Visitors can wander around the grounds of the cathedral and spend time soaking up the history in Oliver Cromwells house and taking a look around the glass museum.
