Falklands memorial was main reason for visit, but what an emotional venue to visit, everything is so well maintained

My GIBSON W I group from Saffron Walden arranged this day trip. The day was very well organised , a lovely meal which was hot and delicious, followed by a guided walk and talk. our guide Tony was excellent, giving us lots of information that you could not have learnt if walking around on your own. The grounds were immaculate and the Monuments were wonderful. So many tributes to those that were lost. The galleries at the front of the welcome desk too were not no be missed. All the staff were a credit.
All in all a wonderful day out that should be visited and supported by everyone.

this is a beautiful place to visit. there is no fee but a donation is asked for. the gothic architecture is stunning. as are all the monuments statues etc. when we went some of the stained glass windows had been removed for repair so it looked a bit strange but cant wait to see them replaced to their former glory.there is a cathedral shop. and outside the cathedral is a lovely little tea rooms. definitely worth a visit.

Lichfield Catherdral is steeped in history and is a fascinating place to visit. Peaceful and calm for moments of reflection (and worship if you're religious...obviously!!) But lots of history literally carved into the walls and on display.
My partner was a teacher in the town for many years and so was able to tell me all the fascinating stories attached to the place - the defaced gargoyles, the tiny cat carved and hidden in one room etc. I was lucky to have her give me the private tour but there are always many knowledgeable volunteers who are happy to answer any questions and give you any information you want.
It's a great place for all ages to spend an hour or so and a small voluntary donation in the collection box is no doubt always gratefully received. Well worth a visit with many other historical attractions just a few moments away as well

It is worth reading up beforehand as guides not always available.The solitary volunteer was most helpful.

We enjoyed our visit to Lichfield Cathedral because it very nice place to visit. The staff who is a gentleman in cathedral was so helpful to us and give us bit of history. The lady in shop is kind and respect us well. The building is very interesting anyway. We shall come back again. Happy blessing to the staff in Lichfield Cathedral

The sense of wonder as you enter Lichfield Cathedrals main doors is almost overwhelming.
To sit there with the hustle and bustle of life going on around you is so relaxing. From Saxon Church to modern day cathedral you can feel it the place is timeless. Look out for the bullet holes and cannon damage from the civil war. Just a lovely place to wonder spend time and meditate. Try and get there when the choir is practicing the harmonics are beautiful.

Could not see all of this magnificent cathedral as Evensong was about to begin. But enjoyed the wonderful singing in a virtually empty place. Friendly stewards. Superb to see from outside as well. Comprehensive gift shop.
