Enjoy this quintessentially English riverside city on the banks of the Great Ouse. As the second smallest city in England it is compact enough to explore on foot with a wealth of sightseeing opportunities to enjoy. Monastic buildings, a vibrant food scene, springtime riverside strolls, independent shops and of course the majestic Cathedral, fondly referred to as "The Ship of the Fens" and "one of the wonders of the Medieval World" - you may recognise it as a filming location for The King's Speech and The Crown. Ely Cathedral are hosting a special embroidery exhibition with pieces dating back to 1876, click to include entry. Start planning your day with Visit Ely.

The coach is due to arrive at 11:30 and will depart at 16:15, setting down and picking up near the Cathedral's west door so you'll be in a central location, ready to start exploring.
