A Day-Trip To Remember

In need of rest and relaxation? On-site hairdressing services take care of your hair, while the Ben’s Yard Restaurant (modern British and international classics) and the Ben’s Yard Café (nutritious salads, snacks and sandwiches) offer inclusive but memorable hospitality. With an enclosed outdoor terrace, even the notorious British weather won’t put a dampener on a day out at Ben’s Yard.
But, it’s more than just shopping and outstanding hospitality – Ben’s Yard is a sensory and holistic experience. Guests will be able to explore the wildlife trails meandering through woodland, fenland and wildflower meadows and catch a glimpse of a Buzzard, Lapwing or Roe Deer. A thoughtfully created two-kilometre stretch designed especially for wheelchairs, bikes and buggies makes this experience accessible for all. And, if the children still have energy, they can run and climb in the enchanting Ely Cathedral-inspired adventure playground.
