We were blessed with a lovely sunny afternoon - we gave thanks to the volunteer at Shugborough Hall who recommended we come, wow, wow and wow again!

The exterior of the cathedral is covered in statues and carvings and is well worth spending time trying to take in this extraordinary visual feast. The interiors are beautiful and have immense grandeur. We really enjoyed the many types of encaustic tiles in the floor at the business end of the cathedral.

Already really looking forward to when we can next visit.

Interesting historically and for it's fine building. Very detailed carvings take some time to assimilate.

In June 2007 I had the honour of be the co-organiser of the Midlands 150th Anniversary of the first investiture of the Victoria Cross " Remembering the Gallantry and the Valour". We had 150 Royal British Legion an Royal British Legion Scotland banners and standards paraded for the occasion. Lichfield cathedral is such a magnificent place to hold such an event we were able to accommodate over 2000 people, descendants and family of people who had been awarded both honours. But from an ordinary visitors perspective it's well worth ta visit. I have been there many times and have enjoyed the experience.
Many interesting historical relics on view, from the Regiment Colours laid up to some many memorials within the confines of the cloisters.

Spectacular cathedral with lots of intricate stonework and very knowledgeable volunteers who can explain many different aspects of the cathedrals history.

Come rain or shine, Lichfield Cathedral is worth a visit, if only to marvel at the size and architectural majesty of the place.

Its an impressive structure and towers above the landscape of Lichfield. Not much to do inside but admire the architecture and the effort it took to build it.

Great building and in good condition throughout
Shame the stained glass is awaiting replacement but this is progress at the end of the day
No parking in the closest all but nearby pay and display
There is a shop inside and a nearby cafe

Beautiful cathedral in serene setting, worth a half hour wander around inside. The architecture is stunning and gives a real sense of history. Theres a tea shop just outside with a pretty enclosed rear garden which is pleasant for sitting in after touring the cathedral.

We liked everything about the cathedral. The staff were also so helpful and knowledgeable; we so loved watching the jackdaw's who had set up home in the walls of the great building! It was amazing to hear the chicks as the mother came back with food for them. A beautiful, tranquil and inspiring visit.

An absolutely magical cathedral--this must be among the very best cathedrals in the world. Please do not visit Lichfield and not pay a visit to the Cathedral.

Unusual reddish stone cathedral with stunning statues and stone carving. Could do with cleaning up the stone as would then in my opinion be much more of a tourist attraction.

Lichfield cathedral is stunning and steeped in history. The newly restored windows are breathtaking - and how refreshing that it's free to enter - do leave a donation - it takes a huge amount to maintain. The volunteer guides are friendly and informative. An absolute must if you're visiting Lichfield.

What a wonderful site the Cathedral is. It stands proud. Quite easy access. You do not have to be religious to enjoy and appreciate an historical building. There is a park and ducks and swans on the water near by. Enjoy the shops in Damm Street. Have tea and cake enjoy the experience.

It was okay as cathedrals go, but not the most interesting I've been to. There seemed to be such a lot of Victoriana there, but what else could we have expected.

Given that this is one of those place that Cromwell knocked about a bit it is a beautiful little cathedral. Lovely statues both inside and out and a peaceful atmosphere. The little cathedral café close by is ideal for snacks or meals afterwards.

Set in the wonderful small City of Lichfield the Cathedral is a wonderful monument and place of worship. The surrounding buildings and setting is exquisite. Plenty of places to eat and shop in Lichfield.
