Day 1 - Cathedral to Cars
Coventry Cathedral
Visit the bombed medieval ruins and Basil Spence's 1960s replacement cathedral. See Graham Sutherland's massive tapestry and John Piper's baptistry window. The juxtaposition tells Coventry's WWII story powerfully.
Coventry Transport Museum
World's largest collection of British road transport includes ThrustSSC land speed record car and locally-made Jaguar vehicles. Interactive exhibits cover 200 years of transport history. The ghost car display is particularly clever.
Fargo Village
Former industrial site converted into independent shops, cafés and studios. Browse vintage clothing, local crafts and artisan food. The monthly vintage market draws serious collectors. Good coffee at Caffeine and Co.
Café at Transport Museum
Turmeric Gold on Spon Street
