For shopping, nightlife and culture, Coventry’s modern city centre has it all, while the natural beauty of Warwickshire on your doorstep shows why it is one of the most visited counties in England.
Coventry

Named UK City of Culture 2021, the city centre has undergone a major multi-million-pound transformation – and it’s only getting better! New shops, bars, cafes and restaurants provide a hive of activity by day or night, while there are stories to be uncovered in its historic Cathedral Quarter with tourist attractions including St Mary’s Guildhall and Coventry Cathedral. Known as the ‘home of Lady Godiva’ and recognised as the City of Peace and Reconciliation, Coventry is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK outside of London and boasts two world-leading universities - The University of Warwick and Coventry University. Completing its modern vision is the new £82 million Coventry Railway Station, delivering direct services to Birmingham and London, perfect for a day trip or commute. |
Birmingham

The UK’s second city, Birmingham, is within easy reach of Pickford Gate and provides a great option to visit. Spend the day at the Bullring and Grand Central for the ultimate shopping and dining experience, take in the colourful waterfront bars and restaurants along the city's iconic canals, or wander through its world-class museums and galleries to soak up its rich heritage and culture. |

Explore the surrounding Warwickshire – known as Shakespeare’s County – for a unique slice of English culture, whether it is one thousand years of jaw-dropping history at Warwick Castle, the charming Tudor town of Stratford-upon-Avon, or the Regency architecture of Royal Leamington Spa. In addition to its historical and natural attractions, Warwickshire hosts various cultural events, festivals, and markets throughout the year, making it a vibrant and dynamic destination for visitors.
