Coventry Cathedral

For a thousand years, Coventry has been a place of pilgrimage where visitors are greeted with a warm welcome, and this continues within Coventry Cathedral today. Combining the evocative ruins of the bombed Cathedral Church of St Michael with the magnificent ‘casket of jewels' designed by Sir Basil Spence, and voted the nation's favourite 20th century building, Coventry Cathedral is a truly inspirational place to visit.
