History

Ely in Cambridgeshire is ideal for summer walks and has a beautiful waterside for strolls discovering the local countryside. In summer visitors can enjoy a boat trip along the River Great Ouse. Visitors can embark on Ely's Eel Trail! This walk invites walkers to discover the architecture and history of this small city. Ely's marshland and waters once contained many eels which were part of the local staple diet. Visitors can still sample smoked eel at Ely's award-winning Farmers Market. The Eel Trail highlights around 18 local attractions starting at Oliver Cromwell's House and Ely's tourism information centre where the leaflet can be picked up. Other highlights of the trail include The Bishop's Palace, Ely Porta, Ely Museum, the antique centre by the Waterside and of course the world-famous Ely Cathedral.
