Ely, River Great Ouse
We have spent today exploring Ely, and what a great day we have had in the summer sun.
Ely waterfront is very attractive, and from there we decided to follow the eel trail to take us around the city.
This took us through very neat gardens and attractive flower displays, lots of lovely lavender, then through the nail scissored grounds around the Cathedral and on to Oliver Cromwells House, where he lived for 10 years. The Cathedral is very imposing, has an octagonal tower, and well worth a visit. There is a stained glass museum and also Ely musem, so plenty to go at. Waterside Antiques is an old warehouse crqammed with antiques on 3 floors, and can absorb your atttention too.
We have yet to try eel pie or eel stew, but hope to do so on our return.
No litter and no louts - thank you Ely.
