We went to Lichfield for a day trip on a special offer with Arrow Coaches. We had never been before and were pleasantly surprised. The cathedral was quite imposing with its three spires and highly decorated exterior. The recently restored medieval stained glass windows were lovely. The St. Chad's chapel was interestingly placed. The Lady chapel was beautiful. All the people in the cathedral were very welcoming, informative and friendly. A must when visiting Lichfield.

They say it takes a couple of visits to take in everything in at Lichfield Cathedral. This was my second visit, it must be said my last visit was mote that 55 years ago and then I was too small to appreciate the wonderful ambience of this stunning building. We found it a great place to stop and just take in the surroundings during an otherwise hectic day. The volunteers really made our visit by guiding us to some wonderful areas with the cathedral and the close ...

This is a lovely building with a number of unique features. The Chapter House and the Lady Chapel are of particular interest. It was helpful talking to the volunteers who are more than willing to share their knowledge and point out areas which we found interesting. Free to have a look around but donations are essential for the upkeep of this beautiful building. Well worth a visit-we went twice.

Lichfield cathedral never ceases to amaze me. It's the only medieval three spire cathedral in Europe and is very photogenic. You must visit to appreciate its Mystical beauty.

Lichfield Cathedral was started in 11hundred and suffered at the hands of both Henry the 8th and Cromwell. The Victorians made a good job of putting the Cathedral back together.....this was the information given to us by the chap who greeted us when we arrived.
The Cathedral is stunning, the lady chapel is beautiful the chapter house well worth visiting just to see the medieval Litchfield Angel. Again the staff there were informative and happy to share their knowledge, I would urge anyone visiting Lichfield to take time out to visit the Cathedral it is stunningly beautiful.

Magnificent Cathedral steeped in history. Our guide,Brian, bought the whole history alive. His love for the place shone through his commentary as did his knowledge. Thanks from the ladies from Derby and the one from Burton. To enjoy the cathedral to its fullest take advantage of these guides.

A glorious location and wonderful building. A pleasant coffee shop in the Close as well as a good little shop and more toilets than you usually find in many English Cathedrals.

Lichfield Cathedral is simply stunning. The architecture, history, windows, quiet areas, artefacts, Staffordshire Hoard exhibition and various books are a revelation. Free entry is a bonus and the tour guides are very knowledgeable. You could wander around this place for hours there's so much to see. How it survives on donations who knows but this needs supporting.

An absolute must see if you are in the area. Free entry but donations can be given. The chapter House closes at 4 so ensure you see that first.

Very impressed by this lovely cathedral. I was particularly impressed by the intelligent and sensitive way they've dealt with the fraught issue of charging for admission. There is an admission desk, issuing tickets in order to keep track of visitor numbers. Donations are encouraged but in a gentle way. It's a good compromise.
Much to see and admire in the building. We took a 45-minute guided tour, which was superb - the guide was articulate, well-informed, interesting.

We received a warm welcome on entry and everyone connected to the Cathedral was very friendly. The architecture is truly awe inspiring. The setting was beautiful. We were lucky to have visited on a warm, late summer's day and so took advantage of the gardens outside.
