Blossom Trail at the Peace Orchard

Event Information

The Peace Orchard is situated in Coundon Hall Park, Coventry, and every Spring there is a canopy of blossoms to appreciate. The Peace Orchard was created by WWII veteran Dennis Davison in 2014 and is his legacy and reminder of why peace is so important.

It is open every day and visitors are welcome to wander and see peace messages from local children. It is a simple sanctuary for local communities and home to a host of wildlife.

Coventry Peace Orchard

We are a volunteer group who look after the Peace Orchard and run activities to celebrate our beautiful space.

“The Peace Orchard has been and continues to be a joy. It is a regular coffee and picnic stop, where our grandchildren, who we help home school, run to sit on “our” bench to enjoy ham sandwiches and hot chocolate.

Our grandchildren have found and hidden stones, had lots of interesting conversations initiated by the quotes on the benches and have been able to watch the seasons in action. They were fascinated with the tiny apples on the trees this year!

On walks around the Coundon wedge with friends, we stop for coffee and cake in the Peace Orchard. On a sunny day all of the benches are occupied with families and friends taking time away from the stresses and strains of lock down, making the most of the winter rays and views. We have friends who live in other parts of the city, who are so impressed with the work you have done and are busy spreading the word!
