Coventry - what's to do?

[Russ]

I'm off to Coventry on monday, I'll be getting there at about 10pm and leaving around the same time on tuesday, can anyone recommend anything cool to do in the day?

[Caff]

Ya definitely should have a look around the old and new cathedrals.

A link to the Coventry and Warwickshire BBC homepage - it show links to all sorts of events:

Enjoy you stopover.

I think you will be able to find plenty to do... or someone to advise.

Some might not consider it cool, but you could hurry up and do some reading

Are there any memorials about the bombing that you could visit?

If you want I could send you a picture of the people at the Church we go to, taken at about 5AM this morning showing us celebrating the "Dawn Eucharist" We have been up since 3AM !

Coombe Abbey and park is a must see.The cathedrals of course see if you can find the swastika in the old Cathedral

I occassionally have to go to Coventry - and it really is 'have to' - and unless there are any hidden treasures I'd say: take a laptop with a DVD player, and a stack of disks

The first time I was there, I'm out of the station, into the cab, 'so what's there to see around here?'

Cabbie: You see the cathedral over there?
Cookie: Yes
Cabbie: You've seen everything then.

And every other cabbie I've sat behind said pretty much the same thing.

Okay,

Cathedral (old and new) - center of town
Motor museum - center of town
Coombe Abbey - outskirts of town
Stratford - not Coventry but worth a visit


MMMMmmm, okay - not a great deal to do afterall
