Location

Coventry is perfectly nestled 19 miles east-southeast of Birmingham, 24 miles southwest of Leicester, 11 miles north of Warwick, and 94 miles northwest of London. Being only 11 miles south-southwest of England’s geographical centre in Leicestershire, Coventry is truly at the heart of the country. And let’s not forget, Coventry will be the 2021 UK City of Culture!

Coventry Cathedral is a gem you can’t miss. First built in 1043, it has quite a story. After falling into decay in the late-16th century, it was rebuilt, only to be decimated during the Blitz in 1940. Today, it stands tall, symbolizing peace, hope, reconciliation, and resilience.

Other must-see landmarks include the Coventry Transport Museum, which celebrates the city’s significant role in the history of British road transport. If art is your thing, the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum is your go-to spot. With exhibits ranging from Natural History and Digital Art to Archaeology and Social & Industrial History, it’s a treasure trove waiting to be explored.

For football fans, Coventry City F.C.’s home, the Ricoh Arena, is more than just a stadium. It also hosts concerts and shows featuring some of the biggest acts in the world. Plus, it’s the home ground for Wasps RFC, a legendary rugby union team with two Heineken Cup wins under their belt.
