Coventry Canal Art Trail, Coventry

The park contains an art trail, pocket parks, heritage trail and towpath improvements.

Many of the bridges carry markers that map the route of the canal through the northern suburbs of Coventry.

Local businesses have also been encouraged to improve the appearanc
