Greetings. In early May, we are considering a two-day / three-night stay in either Ely or Cambridge. We will do a day trip in Cambridge with a guided tour as well as a day trip with tours of the cathedral in Ely. Can the forum help us with pros and cons of staying in either location? Thanks in advance,
~Darrel
I haven’t been to Ely so can’t compare the two.
I really enjoyed my stay in Cambridge in 2023 and was happy that I chose to stay there. There are a number of interesting restaurants, cafes, and an outdoor market. I enjoyed taking a walking tour, visiting the botanical garden, and visiting the Fitzwilliam Museum. I saw an excellent play one evening at the Cambridge Arts Theatre (unfortunately it is temporarily closed, but there is also the ADC Theatre in Cambridge). I don’t think you can go wrong with a stay in Cambridge.
