Anglesey Abbey, Ales, & Awesome Views

Today I went to Anglesey Abbey, Cambridge, and Ely Cathedral. Anglesey Abbey had beautiful extensive gardens and the abbey itself was amazing. The abbey was once a mansion and had all kinds of antiques, old portraits, jewels, etc. The home was purchased by Huttleston Rogers Broughton, the 1st Lord of Fairhaven. Behind the property is an old mill, which is still in use today.

Cambridge was an awesome college town. It had more colleges than I can name and they all had amazing architecture. We ate by the river at a place called Anchor Inn where Pink Floyd use frequently eat and drink. My drink of the day was Old Speckled Hen, a very bitter ale, brewed by Morlan. The food was great and the view was even better as we watched the punts float down the river.

The last stop of the day was Ely. The small town of Ely is a poor representation of the magnificent Ely Cathedral (pictured), which is astonishing. It is a very medieval style church, but very elegant. Next stop is downtown London.
