Ely, Cambridgeshire
Travel Information and nearby accommodation
Ely is a peaceful small town, filled with beautiful Georgian buildings, but its crowning glory is the magnificent medieval cathedral. Ely began life as an island, effectively isolated by the surrounding fens. Its name means Isle of Eels, for the eels which swam in the waters surrounding it. So abundant were the eels that they were used as currency in the past. Imagine paying your rent in eels!
