Visit

Coventry has hidden heritage waiting for you to explore. On the doorstep of the city, Charterhouse is a place of beauty, peace and reflection, a medieval monastic house with unique wall paintings and a rich history.

Connect with nature in the Charterhouse Heritage Park and at Paxton’s Arboretum in London Road Cemetery or rediscover your historic high street. Look out for special open days at many other sites we have saved and restored.
