Ely is the second-smallest city in Cambridgeshire, and it used to be known as the 'Isle of Ely' as it was originally only accessible by boat until the 17th century. Despite its minuscule size, Ely has a lot to offer and the good news is that the entirety of the city can easily be explored on foot. The towering gothic cathedral known as the Ship of the Fens is truly a sight to behold and is home to the UK’s only stained-glass museum. History enthusiasts may also enjoy a visit to Oliver Cromwell’s house, which is famously rumoured to be haunted.
