Marvel at 'The Ship of the Fens' with EV Chauffeurs' executive transport. Ideal for architectural enthusiasts, corporate events, or historical tours, our luxury service provides comfortable travel through Cambridgeshire landscapes to this magnificent cathedral rising from flat fenland.

Ely Cathedral Known as the 'Ship of the Fens' due to its dramatic visibility across flat landscapes, Ely Cathedral originated as a monastic community founded by St. Etheldreda in 673. The current Norman building began in 1083, with the extraordinary Octagon Tower replacing the collapsed central tower in the 14th century. Key viewpoints include the nave with its unique Romanesque-Norman hybrid style, the Octagon Lantern representing medieval engineering genius, the Lady Chapel with its elaborate stone carving, the stained glass museum, and the tower offering fenland vistas. The cathedral tells stories of monastic wealth from wool trade, medieval engineering innovation, and Victorian restoration, all within one of England's most distinctive ecclesiastical buildings.
