 Coventry is a large city in the West Midlands (region) | West Midlands region of England, part of the United Kingdom. It has a population presence of just over 300,000, making it the eleventh largest city in the nation. Locally and the city has been known as 'The Three Spired City', named for the church and cathedral spires that form the most striking aspect of the city's landscape. Coventry is perhaps best known for its association with the 11th century legend of Lady Godiva and for its two cathedrals, one of which is preserved as ruins after heavy bombing in the Second World War. Although an old city, visitors should not expect much in the way of medieval architecture or old-world charm. Extensive rebuilding of the city following the war in the 1940s and 1950s replaced much of the city's pre-war appeal with questionable concrete structures and a highly pedestrianised downtown.

Coventry Halal Travel Guide

History

The area that Coventry now occupies has been inhabited for over 1,000 years. The city's most notable claim to fame is its association with Lady Godiva, who rode naked through the city streets in order to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation imposed by her husband on his tenants. Lore has it that the term 'Peeping Tom' is derived from this tale, describing a man named Tom who did not cover his eyes as she rode through the streets. Coventry has been an economically important city in the past, being a hub for the cloth trade in the Middle Ages and for the burgeoning automotive industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The city's industrial prowess helped Britain's war efforts in the early 20th century; it also however made it an obvious target in the Second World War. A series of (German) bombing raids from 1940-42 (the Coventry Blitz) destroyed much of the city's infrastructure, although the single night of bombing in November 1940 dealt the largest damage, killing more than 500 people.

In the succeeding decades after the war, most of the old medieval dwellings were not rebuilt in lieu of more modern constructions, which at the time consisted of brutalist concrete structures. Subsequent to these, Coventry has undergone extensive remodelling most notably within the downtown, making it more pedestrian-friendly. Major regeneration projects such as the Stirling Prize shortlisted Phoenix Initiative (completed in 2004) have attempted to make the city a more attractive place.

How is the Climate in Coventry

In common with most of the UK, Coventry experiences cool winters and mild summers with moderate annual rainfall. Winter temperatures seldom drop below -10°C (14°F) and the summer months rarely exceed 30°C (86°F). Moderate but occasionally disruptive snowfall is likely in January or February.

How to travel to Coventry

By road

Coventry is at the centre of the UK Motorway network. The M6 passes the north of the city. The M1 is easily accessible via the A45 towards london and the M69 northbound. The M40 is accessed along the A46.

To enjoy the drive into Coventry approach along the A46, exiting at Kenilworth. Drive through central Kenilworth and past the Abbey Fields park before turning right towards Coventry. The broad tree-lined Kenilworth Road offers a beautiful boulevard into the city.

The city also provides a Park and Ride facility, see ventry_frameset.shtml National Park and Ride Directory

You can reach Coventry from London using Megabus which starts at roughly £13 return, but it arrives in Cannon Park, near Tesco, not the downtown. National Express has buses arriving at the Bus Hub (Pool Meadow), which can sometimes be cheaper at some times, though on average, Megabus proposes more options that are almost as affordable as the cheapest, yet less common National Express's equivalents.

One feasible problem visitors to Coventry City centre may encounter is the infamous Coventry ring road. It can be very confusing to first time users, with its single on/off ramps. Speed is limited to 40 mph, but don't be surprised to see cars pass by at [sometimes much higher speeds, racing to get off at the next junction! If you plan to come to Coventry (and want to visit the downtown), it's advisable to have someone who understands the ring road drive you around first.

By rail

Coventry train station and square 14d06 - Coventry train station Coventry station GPS 52.400874,-1.514053 is on the main London Euston to Birmingham rail route operated by Virgin. There are three trains to and from London Euston station every hour from platform 1. The journey takes about an hour and (as of July 2011) costs about £41 for an adult off peak return. Significantly cheaper advance single tickets may be found if booking far enough in advance, and Megatrain also offer tickets on a few of the emptier of these trains (generally Monday-Thursday only) for as little as £2.50 return, again if booked far enough in advance.Alternatively London Midland offer an hourly service to and from Euston that takes about 1 hour 45 minutes, but has cheaper off peak and super off peak tickets compared to those valid on Virgin's trains.

Trains to central Birmingham are even more frequent, with a 25 minutes journey time. Birmingham International, serving the NEC and Birmingham Airport, is just 10 minutes away.

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Coventry

A taxi from the airport costs around £20. Another option is to take the free AirRail Link to the Birmingham International railway station from where trains to Coventry depart several times each hour.
  • Coventry Airport (IATA Flight Code: CVT) is a private airport that has no scheduled flights.

Travel on a Bus in Coventry

There are a plethora of buses serving Coventry all run by National Express, although first time users or those unfamiliar with city bus transport can find the sheer number of different routes intimidating. Cost within the city boundaries is standardised at £2.10 per journey, apart from single journeys within the ring road, which are £1. Daysaver tickets for unlimited travel within the Coventry area for one day are £4 for adults and £3.10 for those under 16.

If you plan on travelling frequently by bus, travelcards are available. Many are only available for purchase from participating agents, which are listed ckets-prices/travelcards/how-to-buy-a-travelcard/ here October 2017|August 2023, although some can be purchased online.

By car

Coventry's downtown is not very car-friendly. With the pedestrianisation of large tracts of the central business neighborhood, travelling in the confusing patchwork of roads winding around the pedestrian quarters can be very frustrating. The ringroad surrounding the downtown is a very quick method of getting around, but its frantic pace and multiple sudden exits make it notoriously difficult for visitors. There is ongoing construction work outside the town hall and Herbert Art Gallery which will further restrict accessibility by car, narrowing the road down from two lanes to one.

In contrast and the city's suburbs are much better suited for vehicle transport, although as expected of a city rush hours tend to be very busy.
