Fascinating insight into the life and times of Johnson. So much more than just seeing his dictionary. Well worth a visit.

A great place for all the family. My six year old and three year old really enjoyed exploring the rooms, made even more fun by the 'finding the cats' activity. They also enjoyed dressing up!

Beautiful, the rest of the town centre is too, steeped in history with the Samuel Johnson museum plus more. Well worth a visit

The stain glass windows are beautiful and the journey they had to get there is a fascinating story. Dr Samuel Johnson's portrait by Josiah Reynolds was good to see close up .

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.

Besides Samuel Johnson's and Erasmus Darwin's houses, this is LIchfield's main attraction. The cathedral has three spires rather than the usual two, and is quite a large structure. No admission fee, but donations are requested.

Entrance to the cathedral is free and the attendants are very helpful

I recommend a visit to Lichfield, Staffordshire to take in the beauty and splendour of the Cathedral with three spires called The Ladies of the Vale. It is essential to get booked in on a guided tour to ensure that every aspect of the history is covered. Whilst in Lichfield City leave time also for visits to the Samuel Johnson Birthplace and also the Erasmus Darwin Museum.

I have been many times to the Cathedral living locally to it but I have had occasion to take Australian cousins there. They don't have anything like it at home and were overwhelmed by the architecture. It is well worth including other attractions such as Erasmus Darwin House, Samuel Johnsons Birthplace and a bite to eat in one of the many cafes in Lichfield.
