Magnificent Cathedral with loads of history. Time flew by as we wandered around admiring and learning of the history. There was a separate shop and a café which were great.

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.

In August 2022, Paul Leedham said about National Memorial Arboretum
We love the Arboretum... have been a few times. On Friday 5th August 2022 we went to the Summer Proms event. Absolutely fantastic. We have been to Prom concerts before, but this one was lovely because it was smaller and more intimate. Great music performed by the Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers with mezzo soprano Louise Callinan. The setting made it quite magical adjacent to the Armed Forces Memorial. Great sound and lights and some of the best fireworks ever! Highly recommend the Arboretum anyway, but if you can get to the Summer Proms you are in for a real treat.
