Etheldreda Tours

In 2023 we celebrated the remarkable life of our founding saint and Saxon Queen, St Etheldreda who in AD 673 founded a monastery in Ely, the very beginning of the Cathedral’s rich history.

Our experienced guides developed an hour-long tour around the Cathedral, which takes you on a journey through her incredible life and legacy.

The tour is available one Tuesday a month, giving an opportunity to learn more about the influence of this incredible woman in stunning surroundings.
