... Dawn in Ely with stunning Cathedral view... a magnificent structure and the only UK building to be listed as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Medieval World"... the interior of the cathedral is not just a simple church... there are several chapels, ornate crypts, and incredible ceilings to take your breath away...
visible for miles around, the Cathedral is often referred to as "The Ship of the Fens"... surrounded by beautiful parkland & meadows which are ideal for walks & picnics... an iconic building, a Christian place of worship, a tourist destination and a major film & TV location... Big Thanks once more Josep&Assumpta! (✿◠‿◠)
