Not just an historic place of worship with time and space for everyone to explore but also provides beautifully varied music and seasonal celebrations made interesting and enjoyable.
There is a coffee shop/restaurant over the road with toilet facilities.

The architecture of the Cathedral is simply stunning. It's free to enter but the ask for a donation. The stained glass windows are excellent. You can spend an hour inside and the same time outside. It is shopping in Litchfield.

To say this is my local cathedral, it's absolutely stunning and we definitely take it for granted living so near.
Surrounded by cafes and a lovely peaceful inside, it makes a lovely relaxing day out.

Lichfield is a lovely quaint place to visit. The cathedral is wonderful and tranquil to look around. After walk through beacon park. Try the cafes along the cobbled streets nearby

This was my first visit since my parents dragged me round as a child some forty years ago. The cathedral has been cleaned since, making the building even more impressive and we thoroughly enjoyed a really interesting couple of hours looking round as there is so much to see.
We also had a delicious afternoon tea in the cathedral Close.

Both inside and out, Lichfield Cathedral is a wondrous place to behold.
Seen from afar, it's three spires stand out magnificently, and the church loses none of its majesty up close.
It's easy to walk all the way around in the peaceful lanes and take it all in, with the front on the green particularly impressive.
Entry is free, although they will ask for a donation at the desk as you go in.
Inside, there is a lot to take in, with a spectacular nave and quire, as well as small chapels tucked away.
There is a lovely welcoming atmosphere and everyone seems at ease.
A quite wonderful Cathedral.

Impressive cathedral, mystifing atmosphaire, free entrance, touch-screens with all the information you need. Extras the coffee shop and the gift shop across the road. And all these in the idyllic scenery of Lichfield centre. Definately a must go, even if you are not so religious.
Ps: leave your car at the big parking space entering the city centre and walk, it is a wonderful place to go on foot.(parking fee only 1£ for the whole day on Sundays)

The St Chad Gospels are probably the greatest treasure of the cathedral, along with the Lichfield Angel which was possibly associated with that saint's relics.
But there are many other interesting things to see, in particular the many memorials. I would recommend a guided highlights tour (free) which take place twice a day.

See from the approach this cathedral is very imposing. The actual building is rather dark and austere. There is a lot of history but unless a guide is available it is rather an off putting experience to explore at detail.

This is one of those massive cathedrals steeped in civil war history. My husband, who tends to read all the information available, found some amazing stonework where the soldiers had sharpened their swords of the faces of the figures, literally defacing them. The only thing I would take issue with was that the cathedral claimed (on various notices) that is costs £5,000 per day to maintain iself for us visitors. I found this a very odd statement and cynically felt the full force of the implication for the hoped-for size of the donation, it is quite dirty on the outside, and you would think for that price they would give it a bit of a clean! I wish they would give me the contract, it would be fun to have a go. Lots of nice cafes nearby.
