Coventry Transport Museum
The world's largest public collection of British road transport, from bicycles to land speed record cars, with free admission.
Coventry was the cradle of Britain's car and bicycle industries, the birthplace of brands such as Jaguar, Triumph and Humber. The museum holds hundreds of cars, motorcycles and bicycles, and its most popular exhibits are the land speed record cars Thrust2 and ThrustSSC, the latter being the first car to break the sound barrier. There is also a recreation of a Blitz-era street scene. Admission is free, although some experiences cost extra. Located in Coventry city centre, it is about a 5-minute walk from the cathedral.
