Coventry; Monday, 22 February, 2010

After a quick breakfast I headed out to catch the bus out to Kenilworth and its castle.

I spent a long time wandering around the site, taking in all the buildings, but unfortunately not the Elizabethan garden as the paths were sheet ice.

I caught the bus back into Coventry and after a quick stop for lunch popped into the Coventry Transport museum.

Having looked around the museum I headed over to the Priory visitors centre. The Priory was the original cathedral in the city, but was destroyed during the dissolution of the monasteries. Today there are only small remnants of the priory still visible, but they are set out in a small garden.

After looking around the priory I wandered down to Spon Street. The buildings here are not in their original locations, but they were all moved here to create an area that captured what the old Coventry looked like before the bulk of the city was destroyed in the Blitz.

I had a bit more of a wander around the city, but by now it was getting dark, so I headed back to the hotel for some dinner.
