    Hillfields is a residential area of Coventry about 15 mins walk away from the City Centre. It's skyline is dominated by several blocklike, weathered concrete towers which although are ugly, do have some bizarre visual appeal as they look like they are about to take-off and fly away due to the large wing-like structure on top. It is not recommeded that you visit here, although in daytime it is safe to walk through the high street if you are en route to the football stadium.

    The Ring road!!!

  • If you happen to hire or drive a car whilst in Coventry please beware of the ring road. It is the main road which circuits around the city centre and it has a large number of slip roads to join and exit during it's circular route. Nobody really has right of way and there are no traffic lights. So if usng a car and you find yourself on the ringroad, just be aware and keep safe when joining and exiting!!! You will definitely understand the need for the warning when you are on the ring road!!!

    Change for the buses!!!

  • Just a note to all visitors to Coventry who might travel by bus during their stay. Due to the bus services supposedly wishing to maintain a high standard of service, aiming to be on time at all bus stops there is a no change policy. Most of the local buses have a dispenser for you to put in your correct change and that is it - you do not get anything back! So strong advise to always have change on you when in Coventry - maximum fare currently is £1.50.
