ELY (pronounced Elee)

Just a few miles away from Ramsey is the historic town of Ely. It is famous for it's massive Cathedral and it's association with Oliver Cromwell who lived her for some time with his family.

The Cathedral is awesome in both it's history and it's incredible architecture. Standing on a high point of the town it dominates view from all angles. I seem to be having problems in downloading the proper pictures!! But I'll learn.

The town is very tourist friendly with good signage and free car parking which encourages walking around the whole place. The main street is free of traffic and cobblestoned leading to the River Ouse. Here there are canal barges moored and for hire ,plus luxury cruisers to use to navigate the extensive waterways.
