Exploring Ely, Cambridgeshire 2022 | Ely Cathedral and Oliver Cromwell's House (with captions)

We hope you enjoy exploring Ely, Cambridgeshire. Turn on captions for our Ely guided tour.
We'll walk past Ely Cathedral, it's delightful streets, shops and Oliver Cromwell's House and so see what Ely is like today. This fine, English cathedral has its origins in AD 672 when an abbey church was built. The present building dates back to 1083, and cathedral status was granted it in 1109.
This video shows the highlights of a day trip to Ely, England. This cathedral city near Cambridge has great independent shops, markets, and streets, as well as a beautiful waterfront, making it a perfect place to spend a day out in England.

What a great video! I love the silence of it. It does lend more of a being there feel to things. The transcript is also a great idea -- informative, yet not intrusive.

[@LivingWalks]

Happy to have brought a little of it to your door. We're really pleased you felt that way. Hope to bring you many more.

Do drop by with any thoughts or recommendations about Ely, or the channel in general. We enjoy hearing from you and will always reply.

Such a wonderful walk around experience in the beautiful town.

Thanks friend. I enjoyed your Jumeirah Lake Towers footage too... a world away for us!

Ça ressemble à un petit village français par son côté medieval mais c’est typiquement anglais dans son architecture,la vie est plus concentrée au bord de l’eau un peu comme une ville plaisance et elle semble bien agréable, merci pour ce tour❤😊

Bonjour, je vois ce que tu veux dire par le fait que c'est un peu comme un petit village français, mais c'est une architecture typiquement anglaise. Je suis heureux que vous ayez trouvé cela agréable, merci d'avoir pris le temps de vous connecter.

Hello LW, I've never been to Ely but have been interested to know what it's like. Thanks for enlightening me. Lovely smooth footage as usual.

[@LivingWalks]

You're welcome MA, this was our first visit too and was surprised to see how big a town it was. Thanks for dropping by.

[@serenitythesiren5031]

If you want to ask anything I could try to answer (I live in Ely so).

[@BoyInAFridge]

I loved the riverside area - I'm sure I've been to Ely before, but somehow must've missed this area. A pleasant escape from the hail that hitting against my window right now...:)

[@LivingWalks]

Ooh hail, yes it's looking like snow here at the mo', so pleased o bring a bit of sunshine to your door.

[@cyndiromero1569]

This was fantastic! I'm visiting Ely this summer on a trip to Cambridge and it's so great to get a feel for the place ahead of time. It seems lovely! Love your videos. Thank you!

Good weather, peaceful atmosphere, the cathedral looks very nice and it's interesting to watch the people of the town going about their errands. It's a bit reminiscent of a model railway. 😉 How did you keep the movement so smooth? Did you do it with a video editing program or do you have a mount for the camera?

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for dropping by JP. So pleased you found it reminiscent of a model railway. I do love a model railway!! Regarding the movement being smooth. In this footage used the gopro with a gimbal stabiliser for the camera. In our latest films we use the DJI pocket which has a built in stabiliser.

[@bobbybigboyyes]

Shame you never went right into the cathedral. Great video.

[@LivingWalks]

Yes, quite, I was caught on the hop re the covid restriction entering but in retrospect I'd have waited and filmed it. We welcome your feedback though!

[@charlottepembroke5446]

Thank you for this video - I am thinking of moving to Ely from the SE - going up there to visit next week. Could I trouble you with a question: are there direct trains from Ely to London or do you have to change? Thanks again.

[@LivingWalks]

Trainline says it is possible to travel from Ely to London without having to change trains. There are 60 direct trains from Ely to London each day. Hope that's helpful.

[@charlottepembroke5446]

@@LivingWalks Fantastic - many thanks - and Cambridge is also very close - the property is affordable - in fact, let's keep quiet about how nice it is!!

9:23 So, obviously, you have to pay money to enter the cathedral; same thing in Salisbury and Wells, which I visited two weeks ago and they charge you 14 pouns, around 18 Euro! Four weeks ago, I have toured France, the great cathedrals in Straßbourg, Chartres, Tours, Bourges, Auxerres, Reims and of course they are open to the public, you just enter and marvel or pray. If daylight-robbing were not enough, in both places (Wells/Salisbury), there were dogs inside, believe or not and when I showed my astonishment about that, one of the guardians condescendingly remarked, that they are God`s creatures as well. So, next time I will take some sheep and snakes inside... The anglospeaking world is really most reliably always the spearhead of decadence.

[@LivingWalks]

Sheep and snakes now there's an idea!! Hope you enjoyed Wells & Salisbury despite that!

[@user-yp2mw2ko9k]

@@LivingWalks I sure did, snug little places they are and the busride to Wells was especially interesting, as I have never been on a doubledecker - bus across country lanes. Looked everywhere as in the animations of "shaun the sheep".

[@LivingWalks]

I like your description of 'snug little places'@@user-yp2mw2ko9k that's just how I think of them. Thanks for taking the time to drop by. All the best and hope to bring you many more perambulations!

@@LivingWalks My favourite spot was the botanical garden in Bath - hardly mentioned, but sooo beautiful; the masterplanner must have been a genious and the variety of precious plants and trees is just amazing.
