ELY Perfect for anyone looking for a day out, the picturesque city of Ely offers a bustling waterside and marina, tranquil gardens and a magnificent cathedral to keep the whole family entertained. More modern developments such as the Maltings, which has a lively programme of events, blend in with the older buildings to give this attractive city a particular character all of its own. Affectionately known as ‘the ship of the fens’, Ely Cathedral’s present appearance dates from the eleventh century. If you’re brave enough, take the guided tour and climb the 165 steps of its distinctive Octagon tower, a masterpiece of medieval engineering. Another option is to visit the Cathedral’s stained glass museum, the only one in the entire country. With its collection of thriving restaurants and bustling pubs and cafés, Ely has become one of our region’s favourite dining destinations with the likes of The Cutter Inn and The Old Fire Engine House welcoming guests from afar to each characteristic settings. The shoppers among us can find a good selection of familiar high street names rubbing shoulders with independent boutiques, offering everything from interiors to fashion requirements. With so much going on in this picturesque city, it’s no wonder that visitors travel many miles to visit.
