This cathedral is magnificent and I loved the mosaic flooring the best. The architecture is much more detailed than any other cathedral that I have ever visited including the famous Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Although it is free entry and run by lovely helpful staff we just felt that we had to donate something to its up keep.

Having a few hours to kill prior to checking in at our hotel the Moor Hall in Sutton Coldfield (always keen to give it a mention!) we drove to Lichfield to have a wander round. I knew it had a cathedral,.. they are always worth a visit as a way of killing time ..but I was not expecting what unfolded before my eyes as we approached it! When you think cathedrals you think..St. Pauls, Lincoln, Salisbury Notre Dame..even the Sagradia Famillia in Barcelona, all famous and much talked about, they stand tall dominating their surroundings but Lichfield is nestled comfortably amongst its neighbours and only reveals its glories when you get up close and personal!
Its carving and detail is as brilliant (if not more so) as any other I have seen ..both inside and out and I see and feel how inspired its builders were and how fantastic their attention to detail was considering they did not possess any power tools! Their blisters would have been ignored as they gazed upon their efforts! A 15 minute buzz round turned into 2 hours as I too was blown away by the magnificence of it... all worth a visit!!

Lots of history. Brilliant architecture. Its important to see as many cathedrals as you can as then you understand that allthough similar they all have their own character

One of the most beautiful Cathedrals I've visited. Nice to see just a donation box and not a recommended minimum charge! Very interesting and guide more than happy to explain history etc

Set in a gorgeous close just up the hill from the city centre, this is an oasis of peace and tranquillity.
There's quite a lot of restoration work going on but, huge panels of OSB around the monuments aside, it doesn't detract from a visit.
The little chapel up the steps is worth the visit if you can get up there.
No money changers in this temple so please make a very generous donation so they don't get tempted to introduce the pay desk.

Been many times (Parents live in Lichfield). Size is very impressive. Adjacent to town centre with the Pool alongside.

A very stunning Cathedral, we lost count of the statues! The choir were practicing when we visited which made even more enjoyable.

Dont stop! Thst was the concensus of the crowd at the end of the Fleetwood Mac legacy concert. A first class group of professional musicians brought the sound of FMac to life.
The staff at the Garrick are so friendly too It always adds to the experience of live performance if the team are making your night out special
Tip; parking free in Lichfield after 6.30pm!

First time there, epic building. Spent ages just taking the stunning architecture and the statues adorning the exterior of the cathedral. Inside was just as incredible, will definitely be going back soon.
