Definitely an awe-inspiring place to visit. The choir was practising at the time too. My small granddaughter asked why we had brought her into a palace!

Lovely building and clearly well used by the community. Web site advertised tour cancelled due to a paid for your taking precedence so watch for that but a very helpful lady did give us a quick tour for which we were most grateful. Well worth a visit.

Lichfield Cathedral is one of the nicest in England from the outside, with its three spires and slightly elevated position. It isn't as central within the city as you might expect, but there is a pleasant circular walk across the river - with a really nice park to also see or rest in. There is a nice grassy area in front of the main entrance to the cathedral, meaning you can get far enough back to take good pictures of the building. Once inside It is rather understated, but profits from the lack of tourist hordes trying to take their "selfies".

I visited Litchfield Cathedral with family - having seen other cathedrals, perhaps I have been too lucky - I didn't feel quite the same atmosphere as I have in several others. Photography is fine - no flash photography in the Chapter House, housing the Staffordshire hoard. To me, the cathedral seemed small - but, I have visited others built on a larger scale.
The cathedral itself was built in the 1100s, however, the Victorian aspects inside are visibly much more modern and seem a little messy in the space. Friendly volunteers happy to talk. I recommend this as a good place to visit if visiting the area.

I love visiting Cathedrals! We were warmly welcomed and the volunteers seemed knowledgeable and happy to chat. We wandered around happily taking photos. Several areas seem cluttered with 'church junk'.making a small Cathedral seem smaller still; and there seemed to be a lot of people carrying out tasks busily while we were there, making it feel more like a museum than a place of worship. I couldn't find a quiet space for prayer and the tiny Chapter house is full of bits of the Staffordshire hoard. All in all...a lovely building.

Visited on a sunny afternoon. Very peaceful, but came to life hen a planned wedding took place in the Chancel. It was good to see the Cathedral in operation! Lots of things to see in the Cathedral. Don't miss the wonderful stained glass in the Lady Chapel, the amazing Chapter House with the St.Chad gospels, and exhibits from the Staffordshire Hoard. Lots of other fine old tombs, window, sculptures. Do walk around the Cathedral Close and enjoy the green environment.

As I've got family connections to the Lichfield area, I've wanted to visit the city and Cathedral for a long time. We had a very warm welcome on arrival and volunteers around the cathedral were friendly and happy to chat. We visited in the morning on a sunny day so managed to get some lovely photos, however you might get better results with stained glass windows late afternoon or on a dull day. There is a small Staffordshire Hoard exhibition in the Chapter House which is very interesting.
There is no charge for admission to the Cathedral, but donations are encouraged.
There are various car parks around the city. We parked in the Bird Street car park which is about five minutes walk from the Cathedral, so very convenient.
Definitely a place to visit if you are in the Lichfield area!
