The beautiful city of Ely has a variety of attractions including the magnificent Cathedral which is also home to the only national museum dedicated to stained glass. Ely Museum, housed in the city’s old gaol, depicts life in the fens and a visit to the former Lord Protector’s Home, Oliver Cromwell House, is a must. The city has a splendid array of historic buildings, many dating to medieval times and is characterised by its pattern of narrow streets and monastic buildings. Ely has a beautiful waterside area where you can enjoy a boat trip, riverside walks, explore the many cafes, art galleries and antiques shops or listen to music in the park.
