Despite being heavily restored, and not in the first rank of English cathedrals, this one always repays a visit: impressive from without and with plenty charm and interesting detail within. Parking is easy: there's a cheap place almost opposite the west front, and it's even cheaper a hundred yards up the road by Beacon Park. This park is also excellent and a fine reward for the children for being patient in the cathedral.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
