Accommodation and travel ideas in Coventry
Coventry, in the West Midlands, is both an industrial centre and a cathedral city, combining industry with culture in an interesting combination. Locally, the city is known as The Three Spired Jewel. Heavily bombed by the German Luftwaffe during World War II, much of the rebuilding has come in for criticism but now major regeneration projects such as the Stirling Prize shortlisted 'Phoenix Initiative' are beginning to make the city a more attractive place.

Only the tower, spire and outer walls remained of the Gothic Cathedral after the war but the striking new Cathedral stands next door to the old, which is now a memorial garden. In the priory gardens there are pre-Norman monastic remains. Away from the centre are a Roman fort and museums feting transport and flight amongst others.
