Coventry three spires and new cathedral

The walk itself is only 0.4 miles, and takes in all three of Coventry city centre's 'Three Spires'. We'll start at the remaining spire of Christ Church, a building destroyed first by Henry VIII's reformation, rebuilt in the 1800s, and then destroyed again during the second world war. Somehow, the spire survived throughout, and so stands alone without a church building. We'll walk from there to Holy Trinity Church, a red sandstone church built between the 1200s and 1400s. Then we'll make the short walk to Coventry's old and new cathedrals. The former was bombed during the Blitz and the latter was built in the 1950s and early 1960s, opening in 1962.

The walk therefore takes in a range of architectural styles, plus both ruined and intact buildings.

For those who are energetic, you can climb to the top of the old cathedral tower, via the 180-step spiral stairs.

Anyone intending to take commercial photographs must seek permission from the two intact churches in advance, but photography for personal use is okay. Coventry Cathedral appreciate a donation if you can afford it, to help with the upkeep of the building.

As the venues are all in the city centre, there are plenty of cafes etc around.

I have suggested a daytime feedback session, but we can change this if necessary to suit the needs of the group.
