A10 - Stretham to Ely

The A10 runs for 100 miles / 160km from central London to King's Lynn in Norfolk and is one of the pre-motorway main roads radiating out from London. The southern section begins at the monument in the City of London and heads due north to Tottenham, where shortly after it becomes a pre-WWII dual carriageway "Great Cambridge Road". The road continues as dual carriageway through the M25 junction to Puckeridge in Hertfordshire, and then as single carriageway through Royston to the M11 at Cambridge. The A10 re-emerges the Milton junction of the A14 north of Cambridge and runs through the Fens, and incredibly flat, formerly marshy area, past the City of Ely to King's Lynn.

This video shows a northbound journey along the A10 in Cambridgeshire, from the roundabout with the A1123 at Stretham, to the southernmost roundabout for the A142 south of the City of Ely. Ely Cathedral, known as the "Ship of the Fens" is clearly visible almost from the start of the video, as it is situated on a raised area, the "Isle of Ely", above the flat Fenland.
