A land train is set to arrive at a park in Coventry this summer.

The attraction will offer short trips around The War Memorial Park during the summer holidays, the city council said.

A portable temporary golf course, which opened in the park in March, will remain until the end of 2024, they added.

"These new attractions are a great addition to the many free activities that visitors can enjoy," councillor Abdul Salam Khan said.

Land trains, which are sometimes referred to as road trains, are a series of linked carriages on wheels which are pulled by a motorised unit.

They are often found at tourist attractions and seaside resorts.
