Ely is one of England's smallest cities, built around a cathedral so large it is known as the Ship of the Fens. Groups come for the cathedral, Oliver Cromwell's House and walks along the Great Ouse, and many combine Ely with Cambridge, Newmarket or the wildlife reserves of the Fens.
Ely is small and walkable, so the vehicle usually drops the group near the cathedral and collects from the riverside or the station.
