Information about Ely
Ely, full of charm and beauty is the home to one of the most magnificant cathedrals in England. The bustling city is nestled within the Fen countryside in east Cambridgeshire and boasts attractions including a beautiful waterside area, the Babylon art gallery, the beautiful Jubilee gardens and the home of Oliver Cromwell, all of which you will pass on the walks. Having taken in all the history, beauty and done all the walking you will be in need of some good refreshments so leave yourself half an hour after the show to visit Peacocks tea room named the UKs best tea room 2007.
