This was to be our fourth U.K. canal boat holiday as we’d really caught the bug.

Whether it was the movie or the sudden drop in physical activity, I didn’t sleep all that well last night—waking once or twice, momentarily confused about where I was.

Third largest city in the Midlands after Birmingham and Leicester, Coventry was a huge centre for the bicycle industry in the 19th century and for car-making in the 20th century. So, it’s the perfect place to visit one of the world’s biggest road transport museums. The location of strategic industries meant the city was bombed in the second world war and much of it was destroyed. In 1962, a new cathedral was built in the ruins of the original medieval one and has become an iconic visitor ...| Good Journey
