Celebrated as the UK's favourite 20th century building, Coventry Cathedral is known all over the world as a beautiful and unique venue. Designed by architect Sir Basil Spence following the bombing of the city in 1940 it was opened in 1962, and contains some of the finest examples of 1950's and 60's art and architecture in the country.
We visited this in June 2019 and it was FREE to visit. It was my third visit to this wonderful Cathedral and this time I took my friend along to view it. It has amazing windows. One is floor to ceiling glass and the other one is floor to ceiling engraving. I have never seen anything so wonderful. The remainder of the Cathedral is also just as fantastic. It has access for people with prams, pushchairs and wheelchairs. The volunteers/staff are really helpful and it is really worth talking with them to get lots of details about the Cathedral - opposite is the bombed old Cathedral and this is a must to view also. Coventry did well to build a new Cathedral beside the old bombed Cathedral and seeing them side by side gives one lots to think about. The new one is absolutely fantastic.

A lovely well maintained building well worth a look around. Lots of helpful volunteers with a wealth of info about it particularity about what happened during the blitz in Coventry. A must visit if this is your thing and one of the hidden gems of Coventry.

Beautiful and very historic church, well worth a visit. The traditional faith is alive and well here, so the church can be appreciated not only for its history but also for still doing what it was built to do
