For a small fee you can visit the reconstruction of the First Century Roman Fort that dates to AD60. The fort is related to the Boudica and was adapted to the cavalry training centre. The fort was the only one in England with a Gyrus (a ring used to train horses). The museum attached to the fort showcases the development of the Roman army while showing visitors exactly what it was like to be in the army. The Lunt Roman Fort is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Religion is an important part of England's heritage, and St. Michael's Cathedral in Coventry dates back of 1,000 years. Though Coventry's cathedral was St. Mary's for many years with a history dating back to 1539, St. Michael's was named the city's cathedral in 1918. Though the cathedral was rebuilt after the blitz in the 1940's, it is one of the most important buildings in the city today. There is an admission for anyone over the age of seven.
