Lichfield is a lovely city to visit, especially nice in the Summer when the gardens are at their best. The cathedral is just a short walk from the city centre, an easy walk, even for my Mum who has a walking stick! You can get to the cathedral from the bottom of the City centre, it's all cobbled stones, no cars, so it's a great place for old or children to roam the small shops that line the cobbled streets.
Once inside the cathedral you are impressed with the wonderful building, it's a real treat. The summer has special events on, and it seemed a friendly place to visit, not austere like some imposing cathedrals, I can't wait for Christmas when the place is decorated in red, with holly and decorations.
A lovely place to spend a few hours.

The Lichfield Catgedral is a great place to spend a few hours, all the history of the building itself and the statues on the from and the sides. The windows... And on top of that the amazing Lichfield Angel and pieces of the Staffs Hoard in display. The organ is great if you get chance to hear it. Afterwards pop into the Cathedral coffee shop opposite for a really tasty feast. Then the rest of the city which is lovely (including feeding the ducks!) is only a 5 minute stroll away.

What a wonderful site the Cathedral is. It stands proud. Quite easy access. You do not have to be religious to enjoy and appreciate an historical building. There is a park and ducks and swans on the water near by. Enjoy the shops in Damm Street. Have tea and cake enjoy the experience.

Lichfield cathedral is stunning and steeped in history. The newly restored windows are breathtaking - and how refreshing that it's free to enter - do leave a donation - it takes a huge amount to maintain. The volunteer guides are friendly and informative. An absolute must if you're visiting Lichfield.

We never went into the Cathedral but just admiring the building and architecture outside was awe inspiring.

Although constructed of dark hued Staffordshire sandstone, this magnificent building seems light and illuminated and almost floats above the city on its elevated site. There are many corners, alcoves and plaques throughout, many marking not ecclesiastical but social and military history. Well worth a visit in its own right, Lichfield offers so many more historical and cultural attractions as well as being just a delightful city to experience.

Magnificent in every respect - the "Ladies of the Vale" (Vale of Lichfield) refers to the cathedral's three beautiful spires.
Entry is free of charge except for voluntary donation. Friendly and knowledgable volunteers are on hand to answer any questions not covered in the free guide.
Amazing windows, some recently removed and cleaned, and a touching memorial to the now-disbanded South Staffs Regiment, along with First World War poems and memorabilia..
The cathedral's treasures include fabulous Spode and Wedgwood urns, and gospels dating from the 7th century. The Chapter House holds an exhibition and information about the Staffordshire Hoard.
It's easy to spend an hour exploring this fine building, under the beign gaze of its patron, St Chad.
