Stunning gothic building which is just as impressive inside as out.
We just had a short wander round on a blustery day. Lots to read and discover. Great little bookshop (just across from the cathedral too).

There are ,I was told by the brilliant guide in the cathedral ,42 and a half ,English cathedrals . I have sung in /visited in my 80 years 33 of them . Lichfield is my favourite visual treat of them all .i felt mentally tickled ,by the stunning Architecture ! My wife and I would never move from our West London home ,but, were we to do so, A house in the Cathedral close at Lichfield would fill the bill. There are four hundred ,FOUR hundred volunteers who keep the Cathedral looking absolutely pristine . As an ' old Soldier ' , I was struck by the fact that every brass memorial was bright ,as if polished today . As a Friend of the British Museum , I have recently visited the Celtic exhibition , so was incredibly excited by the treasures in the Cathedral Chapter House .. ! My joy was increased by the intelligent answers and the profound knowledge of the Cathedral Guides . My wife was working today ,so I look forward to bringing her to see Lichfield Cathedral in the very near future .. The journey from Euston to Lichfield station return cost me less than two packets of cigarettes .. ( and I do not smoke ! ) so, grab your chance and visit this extra-ordinary English gem

Magnificent cathedral, full of history. Do visit the Cathedral Shop opposite, where for a pound you can buy a sheet of information about the statues which adorn the West Front (there are 113 in all)

Called when it was quiet and the staff on duty were very friendly helpful and informative. This would be a fabulous place to visit on a warm day when you have plenty of time to explore all the interior and exterior. Fascinating architecture and history , though much is as expected , guessed from artefacts found, many of which cannot be dated

Well worth a look, stunning. The Chapter house in particular, loads of history and some info about the Staffordshire Hoard too

entry is free but they do ask for donation to help with the upkeep. Very old but some lovely artefacts and the altar is magnificent.

Lichfield Cathedral is a building inside and out. The friendly staff are helpful and welcoming. It's free to go in, but donations are invited.

Beautiful building that makes Lichfield stand apart from the other small towns outside of Birmingham.

Nice stone work, very friendly staff. Comfortable seats. A loud American citizen ruined my visit a little bit by repeating "wow" at every turn.

Definitely worth a visit. The stained glass windows, architecture etc are beautiful. There is some building work going on inside at the moment but it didn't distract us. We will probably return for another visit.

The highlight of Lichfield, do not leave until you have visited this beautiful cathedral. Christmas carol concerts were outstanding.

Lichfield Cathedral is awe-inspiring - from both outside and inside you see wonderful architecture. The stewards are helpful in giving direction and this is definitely one of the most beautiful buildings in lichfield - definitely worth a visit.

Visited Lichfield cathedral today, what a beautiful building. New windows are now in and the outside looks like some work has been done. Stunning building. Only complaint is they wouldn't allow entry for my dogs. Surely all gods creatures should be allowed inside? after all, didn't the market used to be held inside with livestock hundreds of years ago?

This is one of the best cathedrals I have seen and free to go in, some beautiful architecture and very interesting the volunteers we spoke to were informative and passionate about the history of the cathedral

We were met by a lovely warden who explained the main attractions of the cathedral and invited us to use a free map to help us explore its wonderful interior. All the volunteers we met were friendly and knowledgeable. You can stay and worship or wander and chat, the atmosphere allows you do whatever you want without feeling rushed. I would recommend this to all visitors coming to Lichfield as it really is a beautiful cathedral.

We were in Lichfield so it was impossible not to go and see the cathedral! It is a huge focal point in the city and is well worth a visit.
On this occasion we could only walk around the outside as we had our dogs with us but we have been inside previously and it is huge and stunning both inside and out.
The external grounds and cathedral close are kept immaculate and the cathedral itself is well maintained.
If you are in Lichfield you must visit

I am anything but a religious scholar but I did find the cathedral a superb place to learn more about English history. This is my third visit and whilst this impressive building doesn't change it reveals more secrets each time. I was enthralled by the image of the old fortifications that used to totally surround the actual cathedral but are sadly no longer apparent. I must say the man working as a guide that day was so knowledgeable and interesting. He kept checking to make sure he wasn't getting carried away with his explanations. If only all guides were like him, I could have stayed for hours. I will be back!

Was visiting Lichfield for the day and come across the Cathedral while walking along the street. It looks amazing from the outside in more on the inside. You don't have to but they ask for a small donations in the box which it's well worth a few pounds. There's a couple of people there to tell you the history about the Cathedral and the items in it its well worth a look as it's amazing.
