Brilliant. Enter through the bombed ruins (180 step tower still standing) then into the new modern cathedral. Modern glass windows simply incredible. The Sagrada Familia of the UK and it's FREE to enter (you'll definitely want to make a donation). Lots of helpful staff, gift shop assistant was about 5'4"

Beautiful slice of Coventry culture and history. The accessibility of the main courtyard paired with the new cathedral was stunning. The staff was also very helpful in showing us about. Another beautiful place to visit here in the UK and surely in Coventry.

I was so pleased to be able to visit Coventry Cathedral to spend some quality time in quiet reflection and to explore both the ruins and the modern building. I have visited many cathedrals and churches as a lover of architecture and stained glass: this has to be my favourite! It is full of history and of the war and subsequent reconciliation between nations ; I particularly loved the Chapel of Unity which moved me to tears. There is so much to see in the Cathedral-not a place to be rushed and certainly one worthy of multiple visits. The organ was being played during our visit; that in itself is a tremendous experience. I hope you like my photos; they do not do justice to the richness of colour in the stained glass but I hope they will inspire others to visit.

I would recommend this place to everyone single person. Breathtakingly beautiful and the cathedral is an interesting space. Even outside it's gorgeous. So many details to take in. Inside the cathedral it's beautiful. Outside it's fresh and green. Not too busy and there is a little museum nearby.

Fantastic. Old & New! We've been 3x within the last year. The 1st time, my husband & I & twice since then with friends & family. Everyone loved the experience. Make sure you check the hours to go early enough & do try walk through the museum in the destroyed cathedral; well worth the extra time.

One gets kind of an eerie feeling, standing in what used to be the nave of the ancient cathedral and reflecting on what happened there about 80 years ago. What is left of the cathedral represents a very powerful symbol, and in my view it was definitely the right decision to leave the remains, for future generations to be reminded of the horrors of war. And then, in stark contrast, the adjacent modern and truly beautiful cathedral. The two - old and new - blend in with each other perfectly. I felt truly touched by our visit! We would have loved to also visit the Tower and the Blitz Museum, but sadly they're opening hours are extremely limited. Hopefully I can arrange a future visit on a day when they are open.
