Latest Reviews
"Wow" what a fantastic place to visit the windows in the place are totally amazing so place make sure your camera is fully charged loaded and ready to shoot because you don't want to forget this place at all.
The rest of the Cathedral had so much history inside it you need to make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy to the full so you will be sorry.
There are some lovely shots to be taken just walking up to it so be ready or just go back and take that shot it's simply amazing.
We'll worth the time and effort and lots of nice walks and parks to enjoy too.
Postcard photos for anybody picture album so enjoy.

Truly beautiful, a must if you visit Lichfield. Nice to see a cathedral that is free to visit and only asks for a donation.

This is the only english cathedral with 3 spires. The Gothic Cathedral was started in 1195 to replaced a Norman one. It was finish about 1330. But was under sidge 3 time in the english civil war. The Cathedral was severe damaged. Charles the 2nd gave funds to restore the cathedral. It's about 30 mins from Birmingham. I think it is a must see.

Lichfield cathedral is awe inspiring, There is lots of information inside explaining about the Cathedral. Seeing St Chad's Gospel was beyond fantastic, to think that something that beautiful has survived for over 1300 years, it was really humbling. There was a small exhibition of treasures from the Saxon Hoard - absolutely breath taking. Would definitely recommend to see, The outside of the Cathedral is even more wonderful than the inside, with statues of all the English Kings upto the date it was built and various saints and bishops. Absolutely remarkable. There is no fee to pay but a donation is appreciated.

An outstanding example of early English architecture with a long
history which parallels the city of Lichfield.

Truly worth a visit - this cathedral seems to get bypassed but it is an awe-inspiring building both inside and out. Easily accessible with good road a rail connections. Lichfield is a very compact
and pedestrian friendly with architectural gems to complement your visit.

There is still no charge to enter the cathedral, though a donation is obviously more than appreciated. All the guides within the Cathedral are trained volunteers, if you choose to use a guide rather than walk around on your own.
Allow yourself plenty of time for your visit, it isn't a place that you can rush around. You will find that the peace of the building gets into your system whther you are a believer or not.

Make sure you visit when the chapter house is open as it contains most of the treasures. The cathedral is quite different from the great Norman cathedrals and all the more interesting because of this. It has been heavily restored by Gilbert Scott.

Took some friends here who had not been to the Cathedral before, and they loved it. Great calm and atmosphere. One of the oldest Cathedrals in the area and it used to cover a large diocese. Beautiful arches and don't forget to visit the Chapter Hall room. Regards Gary Saunders

Lichfield Cathedral is a must-visit if you are in the area. Beautiful building with so much to take in and very friendly, enthusiastic volunteers. It is a very special place.

We love all of Lichfield - a hidden gem, and the cathedral is central to this. A relatively small cathedral close but only a short walk to river, Civil War information, Samuel Johnson museum and nice shops.
Entrance to the cathedral is free and the attendants are very helpful

A beautiful building in beautiful surroundings overlooking Minster Pool. I've made the trip there several times as I live not too far away and it always more than repays the effort.

We arrived here in heavy rain, but (paid) parking is close by. I felt cheered as soon as I entered the Cathedral, a huge, imposing building. The staff were very helpful. We attended sung evensong, Anglicanism at its best.
Afterwards we were able to visit the pleasant Close, and admire the marvellous Cathedral and its three spires from outside. We also enjoyed Erasmus Darwin's herb garden near by.

I've driven down the M6 and Midland Expressway on numerous occasions, but took time out take a look at Lichfield Cathedral following a visit to the nearby Memorial Arboretum. The Cathedral is well worth a visit, as is Lichfiled, a hidden gem

I recommend a visit to Lichfield, Staffordshire to take in the beauty and splendour of the Cathedral with three spires called The Ladies of the Vale. It is essential to get booked in on a guided tour to ensure that every aspect of the history is covered. Whilst in Lichfield City leave time also for visits to the Samuel Johnson Birthplace and also the Erasmus Darwin Museum.

Living in the city means that this beautiful building is part of our surroundings.
On entering you are immediately aware of the peace and tranquility that envelops you.
I never cease to be amazed at the exquisite workmanship of those who built this wonderful edifice and of the dedication of the clergy and volunteers who keep it in such a excellent condition that all may enjoy it.
