Food Scene
WSK is run by a great local couple - their food is good value and freshly cooked and their dairy free / gluten free options are great. There's always a vegan brownie of some kind! Recommend the Tuscan Bean Stew on cold days, and their dark chocolate Hot Chocolate at all times!

Often busy but for good reason - Hatton Locks has a great canalside walk through a huge lock system. If you aren't familiar with UK canals it's worth a look, it can take boats over a full day to go form top to bottom. Parking and a good pub for refreshments as well.

Arts & Culture
Famously destroyed in the Second World War, the ruins of the Cathedral and it's Modernist replacement next door are really worth a visit. The Cathedral, once the symbol of the destruction of 'old' Coventry is now at the center of the city's regeneration - and with Capital of Culture 2021 on the way, it's worth checking out.

Stratford is worth a visit in itself, but don't miss Shakespeare's birthplace and a visit to the RSC to catch a play. Go early to avoid the crowds and avoid Saturdays if possible!
Parking in Stratford at weekends is interesting - why not jump on the train instead?
