ELY | 4K Narrated Walking Tour | Let's Walk 2023

Join me for a walk around the heart of one of Britain's smallest, but most beautiful ancient cities: Ely! Once upon a time its own island separate to mainland Great Britain, Ely is now located in the lush countryside of the Fens, and is home to a wealth of historic landmarks, from a spectacular Norman cathedral to the largest collection of domestic monastic buildings - as well as beautiful parks and gardens, and a delightful riverside parade!

On our walk around Ely, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including St. Mary's Green, Oliver Cromwell's House, St. Mary's Church, the Sevastopol Cannon, The Bishop's Palace, Ely Cathedral, The Octagon Tower, The Steeple Gateway, High Street, the Sacrist's Gate, the Goldsmith's Tower, The Sacristy, The Almonry, Ely Market Square, Ely War Memorial, The Almonry Garden, Market Street, Ely Museum, The Lamb Inn, The Minster Tavern, The Bishop's House, King's Ely, The Ely Porta, Cherry Hill Park, Ely Castle Mound, Jubilee Gardens, The Maltings, Silver Eel Glaives, Sluice and the River Great Ouse.
