Best breakfast in Warwickshire

Historic Warwickshire town. Many places to stop for food and drink, or just a look around.

Beautiful and well preserved half-timbered building, you will not find many in similar style and quality around. Even if you do not enter the museum it is worth a detour to have a view.

Lovely little independent coffee shop, excellent pit stop spot for coffee and cake!

Stylish war memorial, opposite the Green Dragon pub. Quiet and pleasant road up from Coughton
