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 fabulous example of the building work of long ago. This piece of history is the remains of part of the wall surrounding the city & the Swanswell, which still remains to be seen, is a large area containing swans along with various other types of birds in a parkland setting. There are benches there for visitors to sit & watch the birds as they swim along & i5 is a popular place for picnics in the summer. As it is situated just minutes away from the main bus terminus & within a short walking distance of the town centre, it is easy to access & well worth spending time on a visit to something so unique.
