Day 26 - Coventry to Chichester

After leaving Coventry, we went to Stratford upon Avon for some breakfast. Stratford upon Avon is situated on the banks of the River Avon and is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. The town has a rich history and is home to several historic buildings, including the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. We took a walk along the Avon River past the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. It is a beautiful town, one of my favourite towns in England. I could easily spend more time there.

After breakfast, we went to the British Motor Museum, home to the world's largest collection of historic British cars, with over 300 classic cars on display. The museum was first established in 1993 as the British Heritage Motor Centre but was later rebranded as the British Motor Museum in 2015. The museum's collection includes iconic British cars such as the Mini, Jaguar E-Type, and Aston Martin DB5, as well as lesser-known models like the Austin Allegro and Morris Marina.

We spent three hours at the museum, so we needed to hightail it in the afternoon to get to Chichester. We have booked a lovely apartment for the next five nights as we attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed for the next four days.Read more
