Coventry was the UK’s City of Culture 2021, and it’s easy to see why.
The city was hit hard during World War 2 but bounced back with fortitude, and in the 1970s and 80s was in the spotlight for the ska revival with 2 Tone Records and The Specials forming here. Now it’s a bustling, cosmopolitan city that welcomes visitors with open arms – so maybe it’s time to discover more about how to get Coventry.

Cracking on with the cultural exploration, there’s also theWatch Museum, theHerbert Art Gallery and the Music Museum – each offering a snapshot of the city’s cultural importance.
Coventry’s cathedral site is another must-see. The remains of the 14th-century building are a reminder of the city’s wartime toll, and the 1950s cathedral next door is a testament to its regeneration.
Just on the outskirts of the city are Coombe Abbey Park – an immaculate, wide-open garden, and Go Ape – tree-climbing, zip-wiring fun for all ages.
