Ely

Introduction

Ely and Wells, in Somerset are England's smallest cities, awarded this status solely by reason of their splendid cathedrals.

Sights and Activities

• Ely Cathedral is as fine as any in England, its crowning glory being the splendid central octagonal 'lantern'.
• Oliver Cromwell's House, adjoining the Tourist Office, obviously gets a lot of educational visits and is particularly wel geared to that but still has considerable interest for adults.

Post

The Royal Mail provides postal services in the United Kingdom. The Royal Mail's store fronts are called Post Office and offer services ranging from sending letters and packages to foreign currency exchange. Use the branch locator to find the nearest Post Office branch. An alternative includes TNT Post.
It's common for a post office to be incorporated into a grocery store, where there will be a small counter located at the back of the store for dealing with post related matters. All post offices are marked with signs that say 'post office' in red lettering. Post boxes can be found at any post office and standalone large red post boxes on the streets or red boxes in the sides of public buildings.
