    Places worth a visit near the shooting show.

    If I book in for a couple of nights near to the shooting show are there any other places worth a visit? stately homes, marina's pubs or hotels by water etc etc I can treat the wife to a couple of days away and she will humour me around the show just as I humour her around the annual cake decorating show but I will have to justify booking the hotel by selling it as a treat away for her benefit.

    Just awaiting the excuse to make the booking. Thanks in advance.

    Happy wife happy life

    Warwick is a nice place to stay with some good places to eat and drink.

    I will 100% endorse that, as Warwick Castle -- and the twin 17th or 18th Century (can't remember which, sorry), PCP 3/8" bore air pistols (yes, you did read that right) in the Castle Armoury, are all worth a sight-seeing trip to the Mindlands on their own.

    Leamington Spa if the Wife is into food and shopping.

    Warwick and Kenilworth very near for history.

    Stratford on Avon for Shakespeare and tourists.

    Now there is a superb day out, which along with Warwick Castle and Armoury, is another activity that I would like to 100% endorse (plus a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon, too).

    There's plenty to see and do in Coventry, the shopping isn't great but there's some decent restaurants, plenty of historic sights and a fantastic transport museum.
    There ended, the coventry tourist board information section.😊
