    Coventry Area Guide

    Location

    Coventry is 19 miles east-southeast of Birmingham, 24 miles southwest of Leicester, 11 miles north of Warwick and 94 miles northwest of London. Coventry is also the most central city in England, being only 11 miles south-southwest of the country’s geographical centre in Leicestershire. Coventry has many landmarks and will be the 2021 UK City of Culture.

    Coventry Cathedral is a particular highlight. The Cathedral was first built in 1043 before political events led it to fall into decay in the late-16th Century. The Cathedral was rebuilt, before being decimated as Coventry was targeted by the Nazis in 1940 during the Blitz. The Cathedral was rebuilt again and now stands as a symbol of peace, hope, reconciliation, and resilience.

    Other notable landmarks include Coventry Transport Museum which chronicles the history of British-made road transport and the enormous role that Coventry has played in the development of those vehicles.
    Art lovers will find their muse in the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum. As well as painted works of art, the Museum also hosts a range of exhibits covering Natural History, Digital Art and Archaeology, as well as Social & Industrial History. Whatever interests you have, you will indulge them and spark new ones by visiting the Herbert.

    Football fans will be aware of Coventry City F.C., whose stadium, the Ricoh Arena, also hosts a large number of concerts and shows. Some of the biggest acts in the world have performed at the Ricoh. The Arena is also home to one of the greatest rugby union teams of all time, two-time Heineken Cup-winners Wasps RFC.
