Accommodation, Facilities and Local Area
Ely is a beautiful Cathedral City situated just outside Cambridge. There is an attractive riverside area with pubs and cafes from which you can arrange boat trips, and the magnificent medieval cathedral dominates the city. The cathedral contains the UK’s national stained glass museum, and if you like heights you can climb the West tower for the best view of the area. There is several others museums and art galleries which may be of interest. There are lots of good walking routes in the area, many along the river. Ely also has a Cinema, a bowling alley, and twice-weekly market. You will be able to use the local Leisure centre and swimming pool whilst staying in Ely.

Nearby Cambridge is easily accessible by train, bus or car and offers visitors an opportunity to wander around the city centre admiring the 36 colleges, which comprise Cambridge University. No visit to Cambridge would be complete without a visit to Kings College Chapel and taking the chance to glide along the river Cam in a punt appreciating the famous University. Cambridge boasts a world-renowned Botanical Garden. There is an active music and theatre programme available throughout the year.

If you are interested in horses or just fancy a flutter then Newmarket, the home of British horseracing is the venue for a lively evening racing.

There is a direct and express train service to London (1 hour) which affords many options for a fascinating day out: London Eye, Tourist Bus and Cruise tour, House of Parliament (summer only), Buckingham Palace, Portobello or Camden market, St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower of London and of course you may wish to finish the day with a show in a West End Theatre.
