Coventry is a city which we feel is often overlooked as a place to visit – it was the UK’s City of Culture for 2021/22 and is a great place to head to for young and old alike. We included a few mentions of Warwickshire things to see and do in this guide because historically, the city was part of Warwickshire. The fact that it isn’t any longer is the subject of a little controversy, because although the city shares most of its borders with Warwickshire, it is considered to be part of the West Midlands. Anyway, luckily that doesn’t affect your enjoyment of the city, and there is still plenty of reasons to visit Coventry. We’ve outlined our favourites for 2023, let’s get into the guide: Where is Coventry? We should start by quickly establishing where Coventry actually is – the city is in the West Midlands, on the River Sherbourne. The city is about 85 miles to the North-West of London, and about 20 miles to the East of Birmingham. Let’s now look at the top things to see and do in Coventry: Coventry Cathedral Generally considered to be one of the most iconic buildings in the UK, Coventry Cathedral attracts visitors every year from across the country and beyond, and is a must-visit attraction during your time in the city as far as we’re concerned. The current site combines the ruins of the old cathedral which was destroyed by a bombing during the Second World War, and the new cathedral which was built after the first was destroyed – both are magnificent and impressive for different reasons. The visitor centre and Blitz Museum both do a good job of outlining the history of the cathedrals, but a tour guide is recommended. It’s easy to get to also – you’ll find the cathedral only 100m from the bus stop and 300m from the multi-story vehicle leave at Salt Lane CV1 2GY. When by walking, set out toward Cuckoo Lane for the best entry into the Ruin. Particularly on your most memorable visit, you should always try to enter the New Cathedral by means of the Ruin for the most memora
