Overview

A circular walk which starts and ends at Ely Railway Station. It takes in a walk along the River Great Ouse, through the Ely Country Park and a town trail around the city of Ely, including the Cathedral. 

This replaces a longer walk to the north of Ely which is no longer suitable due to waterlogged ground following heavy rain.
