Walk the route of the city wall and see what's left (more than you may think), with local Blue Badge Tourist Guide Verity Tiff.This guided walk will follow more or less the route of Coventry's City or Town Walls. These walls were once second only to those in London and if you know where to look it is surprising how much still remains.
The original walls had a circumference of just over 2 miles. This walk will be about 2.5 miles as we have to go around some modern developments and through underpasses under Coventry's inner ring road.
The walk will start in Broadgate by Lady Godiva's Statue and will last 2.5 - 3 hours, but we will take brief comfort break at Pool Meadow bus station, about half way around the tour.
Please wear comfortable shoes. There are some steps although most can be avoided if necessary.
What people have said about previous tours.
Had a really enjoyable walking tour of the City Walls of Coventry on Sunday 16th May. Verity brought the wall out of the shadows of the towering skyline to reveal this gem of Coventry's heritage. The walk was well paced and the time allowed accurate. You do need to allow a full 3 hours to complete the circuit. There are a few inclines but these are manageable. The route uses some subways. The tour was on a Sunday and the city was quieter which made it easier to get round and have time to stop and take in the sights. Verity was very knowledgeable about her subject and if she doesn't know the answer to your question. She will research it and get back to you. Vanessa on Facebook
An excellent walk with Verity around the walls of Coventry learning about its medieval and World War II past. Coventry started the town twinning movement - who knew?! A lovely relaxed style so very enjoyable to listen to and lots to learn! Sue on Google
