Take a photo of yourself or your favourite view and share it with us on Twitter @CovCathedral or Instagram: @Coventry_Cathedral and hashtag #covcathclimb.

Once you’ve climbed all 180 plus steps and taken in the magnificent views you can treat yourself to a little something from the Tower Gift Shop, open during Tower opening times.

And once you've conquered the climb why not continue your visit by transporting yourself back to 1940's Coventry in our Blitz Museum, exploring the Ruins, and following Basil Spence's vision into the New Cathedral.
