Cross (one hour)
Norwich (one hour) Peterborough (forty minutes) Birmingham
(two hours thirty mins) Manchester (four hours)and Stansted airport (forty

On
foot or by taxi from the railway station
We are a 15
minute walk from the station. Turn left out of the station, pass the
Tesco car park on your left and cross over Angel Drove as it meets the
roundabout. Carry on up Station Road and Back Hill until you reach a
triangular green called Barton Square. Cross the green, pass the Fountain
Inn on your left and walk up Silver Street. At the top of Silver Street,
turn left into St Mary’s Street, which soon becomes Cambridge Road. The
road bears left and we are one of the first buildings the left at Number
7, a tall, gabled Victorian house. Look out for the blue gate and door
and the etched scroll on the door glass.
If you would
rather travel by taxi, there is a taxi rank outside the station and the
ride costs around £3.50. If there is no taxi waiting you could try
telephoning A10 taxis on 01353 661010 or FenCabs on 01353 669966.
Approaching Ely by car - in general
 The
easiest approach to Ely by car from the south, west or north-west is via
the A14 and the A10. If travelling from the north, it is best to travel
down to the A14 and then up the A10, avoiding the slow cross country
roads (A141, A142) between Huntingdon and Ely.
If travelling from the
south on the M11, continue north up to the A14 and then take the A10,
avoiding the A11 round the east side of Cambridge which is very slow
except in the early hours!
Approaching Ely by car on the A10
As you
approach Ely you will reach the by-pass roundabout; go straight on towards
the city centre (we are exactly one mile on your car’s milometer from this
roundabout). You will pass a golf course on your right and a petrol
station on your left. The road then runs very straight and slightly
downhill for 300 yards. Start slowing down and look out for a
parking place on the right hand side of the road. We are a tall gabled Victorian
semi- detached house on the right hand
side of the road with a blue gate and door and a cello scroll etched into
the door glass. There is a bus stop directly
outside the house with parking on either side of the bus stop.
If you drive
too far you will be on St Mary’s Street and will encounter islands in the
middle of the road, a pelican crossing and traffic lights at the Lamb
Hotel.
Approaching Ely by car on the A142
As you
approach Ely the road passes over a river bridge and under a low railway
bridge. Pass the railway station and the Tesco car park on your left and
go straight on at the roundabout, up Station Road and Back Hill, passing a
triangular green (Barton Square) on your left. Carry on, passing the
Fountain Inn on your left and into Silver Street (one way street.) At the
T junction at the top of Silver Street, turn left into St Mary’s Street.
As the road bears left it turns into the Cambridge Road. We are Number 7,
the tall gabled Victorian house on the left hand side of the road, behind
a bus stop, with a blue gate and door and a spiral etched into the door
glass. You can park beyond the bus stop.
