A Day in St. Ives – The Hidden Gem of Cambridgeshire

 

 

Tucked away in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside, St. Ives is a charming riverside town that perfectly blends history, nature, and local culture. With its cobbled streets, scenic walks along the River Great Ouse, and welcoming market-town atmosphere, St. Ives is an ideal destination for a peaceful and enriching day trip.

 

Begin your day with a gentle walk along the River Great Ouse, where you’ll find stunning views of the water and the famous St. Ives Bridge. Built in the 15th century, this remarkable bridge is one of only a few in England with a chapel in its centre — a true symbol of the town’s medieval charm. Watch as swans glide gracefully along the river, and take a moment to enjoy the tranquil start to your day.

 

A short stroll from the bridge brings you to the St. Ives Parish Church, a beautiful example of English Gothic architecture. The quiet churchyard and intricate stonework make it a lovely spot to pause and reflect before continuing your adventure.

 

 

ELY ...AS YOU PLEASE!

 

From the monastic buildings of the city past, through to the vibrant food scene of today, the scenic majesty of the Riverside, Ely packs a great deal into a small city. With Ely Cathedral, independent shops around the city centre, places to relax and replenish both body and mind, there has never been a better time to enjoy this quintessentially English treasure.

 

Be sure to visit the Magnificent Ely Cathederal.. Acknowledged as one of the wonders of medieval engineering, this incredible structure, suspended high over the centre of the Cathedral is considered the jewel in the Cathedral crown.
