Well worth a visit and unlike some cathedrals in other cities there is no charge just a suggested donation. The Chapter House has a medieval wall painting, a historical book of the Gospels believed to be written by St Chad and some small pieces from the Staffordshire Hoard. There's also the Lichfield Angel - a marvellous sculpture believed to be of the Angel Gabriel. The cathedral staff are very helpful and welcoming and will happily answer any questions you may have.

Lichfield cathedral is a wonderful 3 spired building with lots to see. Each time we visit with friends we discover something new. Situated very close to city centre with a pool walk and seating close by. Chapters coffee shop/cafe opposite the side entrance, nice place to visit with varied menu. Also remembrance gardens, park and lots cafes close by.

The cathedral is amazing to explore. They provide an Angel trail for children, also an activity room for them, and the first time we went there was a brass rubbing room, but it was locked this time. Even young children are in awe of this building and we will visit again to get to know more of the history of it. There are many beautiful things to look at and learn about. It was warm inside and is well kept, and we could have spent much longer than we did there.

Great site, close to Erasmus Darwin museum, close to water. Beautifully presented, with excellent information and helpful cathedral personnel to greet you and answer questions. Free.

This place has great architecture and obviously a lot of history. Plus it has 3 spires which makes it unique. It was free to go in and have a look but you are expected to make a donation. Just outside of the cathedral there is a little cafe.

I am so glad I walked up to the Cathedral as it is a very beautiful and educational experience and I wish I had had longer to explore, so give yourself plenty of time to take in the history and beauty of this ancient place.

So we had a spare couple of hours and google Lichfield.
Parked up near by and walked up the hill. Such amazing place. Such big building. Im guessing it looks amazing light up.
Its free to get in tho they are looking for a donation. We had a good look around. Very easy to get around for a wheelchair user. There is a shop and cafe but we couldn't get into them. Im sure its a busy place in the holidays.

I wouldn't normally dream of reviewing a cathedral, but we received such a warm welcome by people genuinely interested in sharing the beautiful space with you it really does merit a special mention. It is a glorious airy space with much of interest and a real community feel. Really worth a visit.

A beautiful building. In a lovely city. Free entry but they do ask for donations. Only fair considering the couple of hours you can easily stay in there. The staff are all friendly. There were a number of tours going on during our visit. Each guide oozing information about the history and design. The craftsmanship is absolutely outstanding in this place. I highly recommend visiting

The famous three spires can be seen from some parts of the city centre. The walk through the town is delightful, especially as you walk by Beacon Park and the large pond. As you get closer to the cathedral the narrow streets and architecturally pleasing dwellings are worth a pause just to admire their beauty. The lovely grass frontage to the cathedral complements the three sided rows of houses. All smart and easy on the eye.
The cathedral isn't the largest one I've seen especially if you compare it to Liverpool. The interior decor is typical of a cathedral, however, the carved ornate stone is very intricate and impressive.
The cathedral warrants more than one visit and I will be happy to go again.

Impressive Gothic cathedral with three spires close to the city centre. Unlike some religious buildings this one has a happy, busy feel to it. Welcoming staff and free admission although a donation towards the maintenance costs would be welcome.
