- 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.

I love this series. Very well written, narrated and great images to go along with the text. Can't wait to see more in the series.
Very interesting and informative. In my distant memory I think I did once visit Ely when I lived at Bury near Ramsey in the ‘70’s. I do however vividly recall seeing ‘the ship of the fens’ whilst being driven via minibus from Ramsey to work in my first job after leaving school, 1978, in a canning factory in Soham and marvelling at the sight. You’ve piqued my interest to visit Ely after all these years to appreciate it in all its splendour and history
I visited Ely cathedral years ago. I parked next to the Cromwell House and walked there, like this video. The cathedral is huge, inside and very impressive.
Perhaps the *Sevastopol* cannon will be updated in the future. Perhaps Ukraine will give mementos to countries that aided them. Imagine a big burnt out Russian T90 tank, next to the Sevastopol cannon. 😁
Thank you for the amazing & knowledgeable guided tour!❤ what a lovely historical town.
Thank you very interesting
Lovely to see Ely again. Wished I had visited more while working there
Thank you very much! So knowledgeable! So many historical details! Perfect!👏👍
ELY THE PEOPLES GUY!!
Very interesting video, thank you. I've lived relatively close to Ely all my life and have visited many, many times. You still managed to tell me some things I didn't know!
Great Walk and Narration !!!!! But kinda want to throw and eel now 😂😂🤣😂
Welcome to Ely
An excellent walk.
Really enjoyed the video, very informative, lot of interesting info I was not aware of, please keep up the good work, ex englishman now living in Western Australia 😊
Hello whatever your name is I have told you my name why wont you tell me yours love your vidio Very interesting take care stay safe from Lynn x
Thank you - a very comprehensively produced video, excellent in every way, so very well done indeed. I visited Ely quite a few times during my undergrad years with its important historical relevance.And only since it was mentioned, is the local eel population now under conservation control, as world wide, eels are now a severely endangered species, do you know ?
Thank you once again :)
12:04 😂
Another excellent video! Interestingly, today I read some predictions from the climate alarmists about how certain areas of the country will be plunged underwater by 2060 amid sea level rise. It didn't mention the fact that over 1000 years ago Ely was once an island at the time when we had no cars or industries to produce CO2 and cause the sea to rise.
Well....the Dinasours end was all those gas stoves they used 😂🤣😂🤣😂
The sea didn't rise. The land was drained.
Iv noticed in the UK places one could video many years ago, now refuse.
