Home to a world famous 900 year old Cathedral, the historic city of Ely lies on the River Great Ouse probably no more than 15 miles from the City of Cambridge. There is a very good range of shopping facilities within the centre itself including a market which takes place on both Thursdays and Saturdays. A comprehensive range of local schooling is available. The area boasts a number of sporting facilities including an 18 hole golf course, indoor swimming pool, gymnasium and squash club whilst socially there is an excellent variety of pubs and restaurants, including the new Ely Leisure Village featuring a six screen cinema, along with family restaurants and takeaways. The A10 connects Ely to Cambridge, where the A14 and M11 provide routes to London (70 miles) and the rest of the country. From Ely's mainline rail station Cambridge can be reached in approximately 17 minutes while London’s Kings Cross and Liverpool Street stations are approximately one hour 15 minutes to the south.
