Coombe Country Park
Coombe Country Park to the east of Coventry is a 500-acre park offering walking and wildlife in woods and by lakes, a restaurant and craft studios.

There are plenty of walking trails to explore, along with opportunities to spot wildlife such as deer, badgers, and birds. If you get hungry, there is a restaurant on site serving up fresh food made with ingredients sourced from the park itself.
