Old Telegraph Pole - Coventry Canal
Historical landmark
👍👍 A stunning historical landmark not to be missed. We managed to get there early enough before the crowds came rushing so we were lucky enough to capture this rare glimpse. Number one attraction in Nuneaton, would advise planning for a day trip to get plenty of photos. Life changing experience! 5 star...

Cook Street Gate
Historical landmark
👍👍 One of only two medieval city gates and well worth a look when in Coventry. This and Swanswell Gate a little to the south are connected by one of the only remaining stretches of the wall. And so close to a modern 'wall' circling the city- the ring road. Medieval and modern in one place.
