We are right at the heart of Coventry

We're 100m from the bus station and 300m from the multi-story car park at Salt Lane CV1 2GY. Once on foot, head for Cuckoo Lane for the best entrance into the Ruin. Especially on your first visit, it’s always best to enter the New Cathedral, via the Ruins.

“We are trying to banish all thoughts of revenge. We are going to try to make a kinder world.”

From Provost Howard’s 1940 broadcast, made from the Ruins on Christmas Day, six weeks after the Blitz.
