![Coventry Cathedral | 4k narrated guided tour of Coventry cathedral in detail [Hindi]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7jPNPIwzfvc/mqdefault.jpg)
I am pleasantly surprised by Coventry.
I never thought it was so beautiful. All I have ever heard about this city is negative things like guns, gangs, knives, violence, drugs, and deprivation. It just goes to show, that you will see more of what you focus on, for the good and the bad.
Thank you for this tour of Coventry.
My first time in Coventry - I really loved my time there - it's really nice!
Nice done video... Often walk around city centre.. Up the sky blue's 🙏🙏🙏
Honestly I’d not been to Coventry before and didn’t know what to expect
Fell in love with the whole area, booked a few more nights there, stayed longer and had a great time!
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare, you want a cathedral we've got one to spare, in our Coventry homes!
Thank you for documenting our beautiful sky blue city. Sadly one of the 3 spires is missing now due to the reformation, but it's known as the three spires city. It has changed a lot over the years, the Coventry cross was moved more recently as that used to be behind cathedral lanes.
Fantastic place!
Thank you for showing the city in a good light instead of the bad press it recieves
Such a lovely place with lots of positives people should know about for sure!
Yay!!! Thank you for showing my home!!!!! PUSB
Wonderful video. I didn't realise Coventry had such fantastic old buildings and I'm from the West Midlands! I knew about the bombed out cathedral of course, but not all those other buildings and architecture, definitely worth a visit to explore.
Love Coventry, haven’t been back for the best part of 30 years but I’ve promised me dad I’d come back up from Kent to take him to watch the Sky Blues when they get back in the premier league. The city centre used to have large aviaries dotted about with exotic birds when I was a kid, also a Wimpey that looked like a flying saucer, used to get me footy clobber from a shop called Eltex up near the train station and me Pringle and Lyle & Scott jumpers from Johnny Reays golf shop in Keresley. I worked down Coventry Colliery when I left school but that ended when it shut. Great place…PUSB. 👍🏻
Actually, all of the structures are amazing. I love the architecture! ❤❤
A vary good video of COVENTRY | The ultimate tour of Coventry City Centre😎😎✔✔
Yes! I am glad the ruins are still there. We need those, too. The Golden Cross Inn is amazing. I would love to go inside to see what it looks like in there.
From Washington state, south of Seattle.
Lovely walk, thank you! ❤❤
I live in Oregon USA and I may never get to visit these places. But, thanks to you I can see them and appreciate how beautiful they are. Thank you. And Merry Christmas!
I Love Coventry. The old and the new buildings are fantastic. There is so much to see and it would be lovely if you could do another one. Great video. Thanks Neil.
Coventry is so much more than its buildings, old and new. Its industrial heritage is rich and varied and as its industry grew so did the city. All of this is down to the past and present inhabitants of Coventry for it is the people that make a city great and they have built a history and a city to be proud of, despite one or two architectural faux pas after the war.
Agreed - well said
I really loved my time there!
Ive lived in Coventry nearly 20 years now,its very historic in parts. Also I recommend the 2tone museum brilliant place for nostalgia. Ask Ur mum or dad if u have no clue what im on about! Lol
Oh I went to the 2Tone museum when I was in Coventry filming this video
I’m now the biggest 2Tone fan and a huge fan of the city of Coventry too
That museum is so so good
I love it
Can’t wait to get back!
@@GimbalWalkTV the black and white cafe right by there does a great breakfast too! Lol 👍
Wow,,that's changed a LOT since I was last there in 2002/03 . . . Am sure there was a road in front of that Primark!!
I think so!
Love Coventry :D Beautiful, Historic Town.
Agreed 👍
Fantastic video. My partner and I lived in Coventry for many years. We now live in West Sussex. You mentioned the Specials at the Cathedral ruins in 2019. I was there for that concert. If you get to do another video visit Spon Street which is the Tudor street. Also the 2 Tone museum or Coventry music museum. We love your videos. Cheers Mike and Alison xx
I'm a proud Coventrian, born & bred. Born in Kerseley, though I was raised in the Canley area of the city most of my life. The City of Coventry has a great history & wonderful old buildings, as depicted in this wonderful video above. Like any other city in the UK, it also has its problems, which I never deny or gloss over, either. So great to see it in a nice light for a change without any negativity.
Love Coventry. I'm there on the regular as I'm a supporter of the Coventry Blaze ice hockey team. You may have seen their home the Skydome on the drive in or out of the city on the ring road.
Hi I'm coventry born and bred ,AND I live by where the old football stadium WAS. Take care THANK YOU for sharing your RUclips channel. 😊😊😊👍👍👍
Thank you mate ❤️
Always great walks with you Neil 😊
Hello, I live in Coventry, if you visit again go to Spon St and also Coventry Registry office also very old and beautiful. I'm glad you liked it.
Coventry has really old and really new. Thank you for adding Coventry to one of your walks. 😊
Coventry is wonderful city, you need to come when they the Motofest on arou June time, the ring road and town centre are alive with motorcars bikes
I used to Live and studied in Coventry.
Nice! Did you like it there?
@@GimbalWalkTV Yes I did like living in Coventry.
@@GimbalWalkTV Yes I did love living and studying in Coventry.
I also recommend Fargo village and the two tone museum on the outskirts of the city
The contrast between the beautiful old buildings and the modern ones is incredible. Do you think some of those shop buildings will be there in 500 years ?
I hope the older ones are for sure
Ho vissuto dei bei periodi in questa cittadina....davvero carina
You certainly looked at some of the nice places in the city but I'm disappointed that you didn't feature the 'new' cathedral. It's a beautiful building and even if you didn't want to go inside you could have mentioned some of the info about it's architecture.
I visited, & the historical buildings along with their pavements in Coventry are absolutely glorious, but sadly very few remain. They should have waited & restored Coventry to his former glory (as they've done in other countries) as it would have benefitted Coventry & the country on many levels, as those so-called harsh modern buildings & layouts have since created an ugly unsettling soulless atmosphere, & I couldn't wait to leave.
The finest City in Christendom
❤️❤️❤️
Am happy to watch this tour and also to here those Kenyans talking in the middle of the movie content. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏
The Best times I spent was in Cov Uni. It was the best of times it was the worst of places!
ha ha I bet!
I do live in Coventry but I’m on holiday in Doboj I miss Coventry and my grandma who lives in Doboj just getting a creepy smile and ruining my RUclips channel 😢
By the Cathedral and Council House is beautiful but my life much of the Shopping area isn’t good at all…😢
Friarsgate is decent too. Could do with a few bars in the area though.
agreed
Where are the people, does anyone live there?!
They spent a lot of money doing up Broadgate before the Olympics, so it's only really the past decade or so that it's had that greenery. Before then it was utterly depressing, it literally was all concrete and roads. I still can't stand the place, I've had too many horrible experiences with people there, and avoid it at all costs. You only really showed the better parts of the city too. I haven't been there since before the pandemic but I bet that the precinct area is still full of societies rejects.
Next time, take a walk through Hillfields. Then hop on a bus to Wood End and Stoke Aldermoor. Good luck uploading any footage, I'd be surprised if you made it out with your camera/phone still in your possession.
