Beautiful place to relax, plenty of green space, covered area because of the lots of trees. So worth a little wander around here.
Grandkids loved running down the hill, not many places like this in the fens! Would have liked to see some information boards.
A large and green park located next to Ely Cathedral. It is ideal for picnics, walking/playing with your dog and short walks.
Peaceful. Said goodbye to an old friend, so kind of a sad experience, but I enjoyed chatting about old times before leaving.
Always a lovely open space for games and a picnic on a sunny day. Great views of the cathedral.
