Sunny Ely in February

Ely riverside and cathedral
The intention was to take some clips on the way to Palace Green to watch colourful ice skaters, ha ha. Turns out it was a small round area like those horrible garden swimming pools, tiled, no ice, with kids falling all over each other it was such a small area. I had visions of New York, or Somerset House, lol.

Hello, I read your post with interest as I am thinking of moving to Ely permanently. I visit every year. The houses are cheaper than the Thames Valley and I like the town.

Have you moved back to Ely ? If so, what are the good points and bad points of the town. Your advice would be very helpful.

It sounds like a pleasant place to live!

Thanks for your advice and I hope you have a good time in Scotland!

I would yes. Overall it is a very pleasant place to be. As a small city its size isn't overwhleming, and has some nice places to visit in and around the area. It also has a decent train links to Cambridge, London, Peterborough and many other places.  I'm living in Scotland at the moment but in a mere 6 weeks I'm moving back down that way, to a small town 5 miles outside of Ely!

So having lived in Ely for so long, would you say it was a nice place to live or not?

[1apart1]

I have lived near Ely for most of my life, just moving recently. This is like a perfect document if you wanted to sell Ely to someone. It really can be this beautiful! Emphasis on the "can"... *cough-cough* New Barns *cough-Cough* where I lived. lol! it actually wasn't that bad, I'm being a schmuck!

Cool video! I have never approached the Cathedral from that direction before! Never been down the river either, it looks lovely! Thanks for sharing
