A Place to Stay!

We've got our reservations for two Bed and Breakfast's! For the first 5 days we'll be staying in Coventry at "Highcroft Guest House"- about a 45 minute bus ride from  the Crufts Dog Show. And yes, we'll be using public transport for the whole trip to stretch our budget. We'll be within walking distance from both the train station and the bus. Coventry is a good location for a number of things we'd enjoy seeing as well. Once the show is over we'll be relocating to Birmingham to another Bed and Breakfast, "Elm Cottage" for the remainder of our 2 week adventure. From there we'll do day trips to as much as our energy-level allows!

It sits on the River Avon- but no moat is in evidence. I don't know if it ever had one. It doesn't appear like it now. Throughout the displays they dressed very realistic looking models in the clothes/ armor/ or tools of the period. It oftened seems like their eyes were looking at you. With the complex...
