Beautifl old cathedral with an interesting "kink" to the nave. Go to a musical perfomance here in the summer and watch as the stone changes colour as the sun sets. With the wonderful music of the Halle playing, the stone gradually changes colour from an almost rose pink to a light slate grey and then to a dark grey, Magic!

Beautiful 3 spired cathedral. Well worth the £2 donation to keep such a fascinating place open to the public. Especially like the roof tour that happen during the summer months. Great views!!

This was the cathedral for the capital of Mercia - and the frontage shows it. Not only the 3 sisters but he busts of the Mercian Kings. Wonderfully dripping in history. After that, the interior of the cathedral is rather disappointing - plain, little exceptional, no distictive architechture . In side, it's no Licoln, Wells, or Durham Cathdaral. However it's setting is marvellous against the backdrop of Stowe Pool.

amazing, even better if you visit for midnight mass like i have a few times. if you can get someone to tell you the history its worth it. Did a Lichfield ghost walk years ago and it brings it all together

I was confirmed at Lichfield cathedral when a boy. On going back to it, it still looked immense inside and out. Lots of interesting things to see and read about and a lovely location, overlooking Beacon Pool.
Do take time to visit the City. It is small, with lots of quaint shops around the cathedral and pool and lots of other history to keep everyone in the family interested for a day.
Not too far from Drayton Manor Park if theme parks are your thing

This is the most beautiful Cathedral I have seen... it is amazing and the detail of the building is unbelievable. Once inside it is lovely and warm and you can spend a good hour inside if not longer.

Cant really say much more. Amazing. Visit it and see. Also church in nearby market square worth a visit. Look for the plaques on outer wall by market stalls, relating to burnings at the stake etc.

Lichfield is a nice little town and worth a visit in it's own right. The cathedral is spectacular and takes you by surprise at it's size. Lovely jubley!

Firstly I must declare an interest - two of my grandsons are choristers here. That apart, the Cathedral in Lichfield stands very much at the heart of the city, though not in a geographical sense. The present building is the third Cathedral to stand on this site reaching back more than 1300 years. The first was Saxon, the second Norman and the current one - Gothic. Probably the oldest part of todays structure is the choir which dates from 1190-1200. A fascinating place to visit but remember that it is still very much a place of worship to God and in daily use for such. Much to see and learn here. If you get the opportunity, a place on one of the candle lit tours is a must. Bookings at the cathedral book shop, and all details relating to all aspects of the Cathedral on their web site. Got to mention the Cafe - Chapters, just across from the Cathedral on the south side. Excellent food and drinks.

One of the nicest cathedrals I have visited. The frontage is particularly beautiful. Make sure you walk up the close to it to see it as its best.

What architecture.......... a must for anyone passing through and just beautiful at night when it's lit up.

It is a very fine cathedral. The West Door is fabulous with all the statues of saints and kings. The view down the nave is wonderful (it is quite strange to see the way this veers off to one side - when they were building it they needed to avoid some marshy ground as I understand it). We were there for a concert (but have separately visited several times previously. The acoustics are fantastic.

The cathedral is beautiful. In the summer, sit on the grass outside and admire the detailed stone work. The shop inside has cheap books on the stained glass and carvings that make it an easy self guided tour. There are many events in this amazing setting- grab a leaflet from the shop. The coffee shop chapters is just across the road and offer a good range of refreshments.

Did a complete tour of the outside of the cathedral, but as it was Sunday morning, could not go inside as there was a service on. Would like to go back another time

Lichfield Cathedral is one of the finest and most beautiful in the country
But unlike many other cathedrals, Lichfield is free to visit.
They make a charge is you wish to use your camera inside, but entry is free.
There are free guide leaflet to guide you round the cathedral's sights, displays of the cathedral's treasures and small exhibitions.
There is a small shop in the cathedral, and the cathedral bookshop is opposite.

We loved all of Lichfield - a hidden gem, and the cathedral is central to this. A relatively small cathedral close but only a short walk to river, Civil War information, Samuel Johnson museum and nice shops.
