Rising above the Cambridgeshire Fens, Ely is the destination city with something for everyone.
Now surrounded by land, Ely was at one time an island. It was in the 17th Century when the surrounding Fenlands were drained it ceased to be one and is still known today as the Isle of Ely.
Located 14 miles Northeast of Cambridge and 24 miles Southeast of Peterborough, Ely has great transport links, with trains going direct to Cambridge, London Kings Cross, Manchester Piccadilly, Kings Lynn, Birmingham, Norwich and Colchester.
Standing centre stage is the Medieval Cathedral with parts of the building dating as far back as 1083. Surrounding this beautiful Cathedral are several independent shops, and a variety of places to eat and relax. There has never been a better time to enjoy this quintessentially jewel of a city in the heart of East Cambridgeshire.
