Coventry

Coventry lies along the River Sherbourne in England’s West Midlands, an urban centre set amid gently rolling ground between Birmingham and Warwickshire. Its defining landmark is Coventry Cathedral: the medieval cathedral was devastated in the Coventry Blitz of November 1940, while the adjacent new cathedral, designed by Basil Spence, was consecrated in 1962. Together, the ruins and modern building make post-war rebuilding and reconciliation central to Coventry’s identity. The medieval legend of Lady Godiva is also closely tied to the city, and her statue stands in Broadgate. Place Coventry in its West Midlands setting by browsing webcams nearby.
