3. Visit Coventry
From its virtual destruction during the Second World War Blitz to its automotive heydays in the 1960s, Coventry is a city full of history and surprises!
Discover the invention of the bicycle and the city’s roots in the automotive industry by visiting the Coventry Transport Museum. Take in the architectural magnificence of Coventry Cathedral, which was rebuilt next to the ruins of its 15th-century counterpart, all but destroyed during the war.
Alternatively, visit The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Home to Coventry’s Art, Culture & Heritage. Explore their temporary art exhibitions or delve into the city’s rich social history.

4. Visit the Cotswolds
If you travel down the ancient Roman road known as The Fosse Way, heading towards the southern tip of Warwickshire, you enter the picturesque Cotswolds. Visitors are drawn each year by its distinctive, honey-coloured limestone properties, quaint towns and villages, and over 3000 miles of footpaths and bridleways.
Whether you are a hiker and explorer, enjoy browsing antique shops and boutiques, or love indulging in freshly baked treats in a traditional tea room, the Cotswolds will not disappoint.

5. Visit Birmingham
However, if you are a fan of the bright lights and hustle and bustle of city life, then Birmingham is the place for you. Britain’s second-largest city is fit to bursting with shops, museums, restaurants, bars, galleries, and so much more. But don’t be fooled; beneath its vibrant atmosphere lies a city full of history and culture.
The world-famous chocolate company, Cadbury, celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2024. Located in the suburb of Bournville, this was the purpose-built “garden village” created in the 1800s to house the factory workers. After a tour of this much-loved establishment – and sampling their delicious chocolates – why not burn off some calories with a walk along one of Birmingham’s many canals? Once the heart of the city’s industrial success in the 1800s, this network of waterways is a must for walkers, cyclists, and canal boat enthusiasts.
