Ely - a Dog Friendly City
Ely – a Dog-Friendly City
Ely has been a welcoming place for nearly a millennium. From the early Pilgrims coming to visit the Shrine of Etheldreda, to those modern travellers by car, train or on foot…. And not to forget paws!
Ely welcomes everyone including our four-legged tail-wagging visitors! That’s why Visit Ely, the City of Ely Council and Brands of Ely have launched the “Ely – A dog-Friendly City” initiative!
On this page, you’ll find a directory of dog-friendly establishments and services. While you’re out and about look for the “Dog Friendly” window stickers too!
Brands of Ely, the city centre Pet Shop and Garden Centre, have sponsored this initiative, allowing Visit Ely to share just how Dog Friendly our city is!
