Boasting a pretty village location close to the picturesque cathedral city of Ely, The Vickers offers plenty of leisure attractions to keep residents of all ages entertained.
A number of well-kept public parks can be found nestled in the breath-taking Cambridgeshire countryside, many of which are within easy reach of the development. Cathedral View Park is less than a 5-minute walk from home, and presents walking routes through woodland and wild flower meadows, while Cherry Hill Park (9-minute drive) offers stunning views of the notable Ely Cathedral. The impressive Jubilee Gardens is also well-worth a visit, with scenic riverside pathways, manicured lawns, outdoor artwork, play equipment and a bandstand hosting events throughout the year.
Sports enthusiasts are well-catered for in the village, with the friendly Witchford sports and social club just a short walk away, showing sports events and hosting a range of community functions. Nearby Ely benefits from its own cricket and football clubs, while Ely City Golf Club is just over a 5-minute drive from home and promises a challenging 18-hole course, attractive fairways and views of the cathedral.
Ely itself boasts a rich and fascinating history, with a number of historic buildings and heritage sites dotted around the city. Just three miles from The Vickers is the 17th century former home of Oliver Cromwell. The house is now restored into an enchanting tourist centre charting the life of this significant political figure, and even hosts regular events such as festive feasts, themed escape rooms, craft workshops, guided walks and ghost tours.
