A treat for the senses; a taste of culture and tradition; a masterpiece of craftsmanship in stone, wood, and iron! Without this edifice, Lichfield would not have much to attract visitors.

I always enjoy having a look around this cathedral, amazing architecture with some good photographic opportunities. Set in a nice quiet location this is well worth a visit. The local shopping centre is nearby.

Loved the cathedral and the school yearbooks...especially the one dated from 1905...just remembered school doctors & dentists visiting Primary School....aargh...but really loved looking at how the handwriting of the headteachers changed over the years and reading the exciting and mundane events of the school years.

This is a lovely church built in the medieval centuries, The architecture is very detailed with lots of statuettes all across the outer walls, resembling very old temples in other parts of the world. There are three spires in the this church with the one in back seemingly a bit taller than the front ones. The location is also cool with a pond nearby and lots of greenery around. A must see place in Lichfield.

I am local to Lichfield and love this small and historic city but I have to say to anyone planning to visit, please do not miss the Cathedral! It is absolutely stunning. It's ancient walls tower over Cathedral Close yet it's presence is mellow. The feeling is of being overshadowed by a friendly giant. The building itself has three spires (the local shopping precinct is named after this unique feature). The ornate stone figures carved into the elevations are intricate and beautiful. In August I went with my husband to see the famous Staffordshire Hoard on exhibition at the cathedral and the two ancient entities married together well. Very atmospheric. The interior of the cathedral is, as you would expect, capacious but you can wander at your leisure and soak up the atmosphere. This is also still a valued house of worship, and has been so for 1300 years. There are daily services and this years Christmas morning service will be broadcast on BBC 1. Near to the cathedral is the tiny city centre, in easy walking distance with plenty of places to eat or have a coffee. The Chapters Restaurant affiliated to the cathedral, is in The Close itself. The whole close and most of the Cathedral is wheelchair accesible.There is also Stowe Pool close by-very pretty for a stroll. Enjoy! But please don't miss this lovely place.

Lichfied Cathedral is one of those places that fills you with awe and makes you feel so very small in the whole great scheme of life. It magestically crowns the Staffordshire county with its resplendent architecture and true majesty. The three spires rise from historic Lichfield's centre and can be seen from miles around. Inside you are immediately struck dumb by the beauty of the soaring arches, magnificent stained glass and ancient tombs. The Lichfield gospels, of great historical significance should not be missed as well as the beautiful Lichfield angel. Whether you visit just once or pop in often, you'll find the cathedral a great place for wonder and quiet contemplation.

Living in Lichfield, I seem to make plenty of trips to the Cathedral every time family or friends come to visit. They are always welcoming and almost always have somebody greeting you as you arrive, handing out a free guide containing basic information about the Cathedral. Entry is free and whilst a donation is encouraged you won't be watched like a hawk until you pay up! It really is a beautiful building and well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Lovely setting, and magnificent structure. Surrounding park and lake add to the enjoyment with a memorial to Captain Smith of Titanic who perished with his ship in 1912.
