The Old Warehouse Ely 🚴🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️

A real treat this week to welcome seven friends from Essex, a brilliant group of cyclists who chose The Old Warehouse as their Ely base. They made full use of our secure bike store, set off on the beautiful, flat Fenland routes by day, and came back to a comfortable apartment in the heart of Ely each evening.

Cyclists and walkers love it here, and it is easy to see why. Ely sits right on National Cycle Route 11 and the Great Ouse riverside paths, with quiet country lanes, the Lodes Way, Wicken Fen and a gentle ride down to Cambridge all on the doorstep. Add a secure place to lock the bikes, free parking a minute away and apartments that sleep up to five, and you have the perfect base for groups, couples and families on two wheels or two feet.

The Stained Glass Museum - Sunday opening hours alert !

We've always known that The Stained Glass Museum is one of the coolest places to visit in Ely, but during this heatwave, this is especially true 😎

This summer, enjoy a break from the heat, (or perhaps an escape from the rain might be more accurate!) in the cool temperatures of the Cathedral and explore our beautiful, nationally designated, collection.

This summer, we're also opening on some selected 'Summer Sunday' afternoons, so do pop in to visit or amazing collection, browse the shop, or simply enjoy the beautiful views of the Cathedral from the triforium level.

We'll be open every other Sunday in June, July and August ☀️
