A must-see if you are visiting Coventry City Centre. Free to the public and donations are welcome. The cathedral is impressive upon approach and contains a beautiful baptistery window inside. There are friendly staff on hand to help.

Lovely blend of old and new architecture, with lovely staff who were very helpful. Lovely exhibition and a good amount of information. The small museum is only open on weekends but it's a nice walk around anyday.

Absolutely stunning modern Cathedral. Take time to reflect in one of the many chapels or just gaze at the truly beautiful stained glass.
· via Google
The first cathedral in UK I have visited looks new because of very obvious historical factor and therefore people rebuilt it later. There are still some displays in old cathedral ruins, you will understand why the old cathedral was destroyed. It is connected to the modern concrete-made cathedral. Definitely worth a visit when visiting Coventry.
