A rain sodden day trip to a staggeringly beautiful cathedral

The extraordinary Ely Cathedral
Some views from the Octagon Tower

“One of the wonders of medieval engineering, this incredible structure completed in 1342 is considered the jewel in the Cathedral crown.”

I couldn’t climb up there because of the enclosed spiral staircases which exacerbates my claustrophobia. I relied on Jeremy to make the journey up and down and to enjoy the views and the talk given by the tour guide.

There is a wealth of history in such a building and definitely worth the £14 entrance fee which included a fantastic headset and visual guided tour
