There are a lot of squirrels in the middle of Coventry, in the 'Cathedral Quarter', in the green areas around Holy Trinity Church near the old cathedral. We were in town for the Heritage Open Day, and Emma brought some peanuts along to feed to the squirrels.

The annual Coventry Heritage Open Day is upon us again. A lot of historic attractions are open to the public this weekend, including some which are usually limited access or by appointment only.

We've been meaning to visit the Guildhall for a while, so this was the ideal opportunity. We also visited the Watchmaking Museum and the Police Museum - both of which are usually closed to the public.

St Mary's Guildhall

Black Swan Terrace, a recently renovated row of medieval houses on Upper Spon Street. The middle house was the Weavers Cottage, which was open for viewing. Until recently, the buildings were hidden from view, covered in scaffolding.
