🕒 Your Itinerary at a Glance

  • Morning: Arrive in the shadow of the magnificent Ely Cathedral. Take a guided tour of the famous Octagon Tower or explore the unique Stained Glass Museum housed within the cathedral’s upper galleries.
  • Lunch: Head to the historic High Street or the Market Square (especially vibrant on Thursdays and Saturdays). For a unique experience, dine at The Almonry, tucked away in the medieval cathedral precinct.
  • Afternoon: Step back in time at Oliver Cromwell’s House, the former home of the Lord Protector, or wander down to the Waterside. Here you can browse three floors of treasures at Waterside Antiques, the largest antiques centre in East Anglia.
  • Late Afternoon: Enjoy a "cream tea" at the award-winning Peacocks Tearoom or take a relaxing stroll through Jubilee Gardens to watch the boats bobbing along the river.

🎒 Why You’ll Love Ely
