It's Ely, Cambridgeshire Close to the Suffolk and Norfolk borders, but very much in Cambs. A former isle in the Fens before draining, it's still know locally as the isle of Ely. The majestic cathedral is the dominant feature and known as The Ship of the Fens as it can be seen on the horizon for many miles around and featured on the cover of Pink Floyd's 1994 album The Division Bell (the videos for the tracks were all filmed in the area).

Not to be confused with Ely, Cardiff, and the railway station of the same name.
