Ely Hookups: Ely Women Want to Meet

Casual sex for grown-ups in Ely, the cathedral city on the old fen island.

Hookups in Ely, the island that stayed dry

Ely used to be an island. Until the Fens were drained in the seventeenth century it stood on a patch of clay covering 23 square miles, at 85 feet the highest land in the Fens, with marsh and meres all around. The cathedral, 68 feet above the surrounding fens, has shaped the skyline for more than 800 years; its Victorian restoration began in 1845 and took nearly thirty years, and in 1870 a pavement labyrinth went in below the west tower, the only one in an English cathedral.

Water paid the town's way in older days. In 1086 one village was valued at 24,000 eels for the abbot, and the Great Ouse, once a working route for transport, is now a boating river with a large marina. About 20,000 people live in the parish today, so you may half-know a match, and a first meeting in a public place is the sensible start.

Every age has company within 40 miles of Ely

Our figures for Ely take in everyone within 40 miles, and that circle runs older than the site does: about one in six members is 55 or over, roughly double the share for the UK as a whole, and the 45 to 54s add another one in eight. Even so, the under-25s are the largest single group at three in ten, with close to a quarter aged 25 to 34, so this is a broad crowd rather than an old one. Just over a quarter are women. Members have joined from Cambridge, Peterborough, Bedford, Stamford, Wisbech, Lakenheath, Braintree and Sudbury, so decide how far you will go before you start.
