Cant recommend this place enough- it was a great family day out for a fussy family of 6, the 4 teens absolutely loved the experience and us parents got involved and showed the kids how it's done The aqua park is also a must for the family loads of fun obstacles and slides! We will be back for round 2 soon - I dont think the kids will let it rest!

As National Trust members, the missus and I are drawn to places where we do not have to pay to get in. A short trip by motor car from Cambridge, we headed Wicken Fen driving across the flats of Cambridgeshire, overwhelmed by the amount of sky. On arrival, the first thing we did after the obligatory visit to the toilets was to book onto the boat trip. After a sandwich and a cup of tea, we joined our fellow mariners and walked down to the launch, the skipper talking about the fen and the way it was worked in the past. Once on board, a gentle cruise down the lode was a delight, with the skipper’s on-Board commentary providing a lot of information. Back on land, we continued our exploration of the Board walks, taking in a number of bird watching hides and a wind pump. We saw birds and butterflies, reeds and sedge as well as trees and other nature stuff. Finally, there was a visit to a Fenman’s cottage, preserved to be as it was. Very quaint, interesting and made me happy to be living in the 21st century.

After a stroll alongside the river yesterday, we walked back in to the City via the Jubilee Gardens. Beautiful setting, well laid out with winding paths, plenty of trees and areas of shrubs etc. Recommended

Ely Market has a great atmosphere and fantastic variety of good quality stalls. There is a farmers market on Saturday every two weeks running alongside the craft & general market that runs every week which also includes other food stalls. The market has great variety and there are friendly stall holders who give great personality to the shopping experience. You can buy antiques and vintage items, local crafts, books & records homemade cakes and a great cup of coffee. Locals shop there regularly, it is not just for tourists! (Disclaimer: I used to have a stall at the market but since stopped trading to open my own shop. This is a personal review of the market based on my experience shopping there, not as a trader).

The sound system is great and the seats are very comfortable, making that longer film endurable. Free parking here too, which is a bonus.
