The cathedral is an amazing building. The architecture, atmosphere and essence is wonderful. The grounds of the cathedral are easily accessible from a car park. The surrounding buildings create the perfect setting for the cathedral.

I had heard something about this unusual place. An excellent guide really helped bring it alive... imagining the building in its original colours... learning to 'read' Victorian stained glass windows, etc. One down side... I'd also heard about some very old books - the Lichfield gospels - but they were not on show here... (they are currently in London!)

I brought my mum to the cathedral at lunchtime to show her the beautiful decorations and the christmas trees. We couldn't see the trees at first because of the midday service, so we found a seat and listened as the service was relayed quietly. It was so peaceful despite people being around. Everyone waiting was quiet and respectful. In front of my mum was the most magical Christmas tree all decked out in white lights. We sat for about half an hour just soaking in the atmosphere. It was lovely and warm in there and so calm and special. Mum is 87 and she was thrilled with her experience. We are so lucky to have this magnificent building so close to us. Thanks to all who work or volunteer here.

The only Cathedral of its age with a distinctive three spires. Wonderful Gothic Architecture and complex statuary on the face of the front wall. Once inside however, this is not an austere building but surprisingly personal and welcoming. Interesting displays always and lovely peaceful side chapels for contemplation.

The outside was refurbished in Victorian times but the Cathedral retains much of its original appearance. Some of the fortifications breached during the Civil war are still in evidence. The view of the Cathedral particularly from Stowe Pool is beautiful.

Fascinating cathedral, and very important in British cultural and religious history.
Don’t miss St Chad’s Head Chapel!
Volunteers very friendly and didn’t feel pressured into giving the £3 recommended donation (but gave it willingly).

Love this place, always a sense of peace here as well as history, there are guide books on sale for any information you might need. Worth a visit at Christmas when a lovely display of Christmas trees are on show to the public to raise funds for local charities.

We visited Lichfield Cathedral on a Saturday afternoon, the detail of the figures on it's outside is fantastic, situated in the centre of Lichfield you can't miss it and it is well worth a visit.

If you are interested in history and in the area make sure you pay a visit. There is a car park at the bottom of the road about 100yds away. It’s a Pay and display 80p for an hour.

The Cathedral is exceptionally well preserved and is free to visit, although they recommend a £5 donation.

Interactive screens tell the history and there is an APP that you can download.
