Lichfield Cathedral Tower Tour Lichfield Cathedral Tower Tour is a great experience. Tours must be booked in advance from the Cathedrals website, but they are very reasonably priced for what you get to see. You must be reasonably fit, and good with heights, as there are some steep narrow staircases to negotiate, and small gaps to fit through. Our guide Graham was very knowledgeable, and great at explaining a lot about the history of the Cathedral. When you reach the highest point, there are some stunning views to be had. I highly recommend this tour. We loved it and will do it again at different times of the year for some differing views.

One of the best Anglican churches in the region and in England. The church building has a great character don't forget to walk around the church to appreciate the lovely location and features of the church building. Going inside the church has no ticket, but donations are appreciated which goes towards the maintenance of the Cathedral. Volunteers were kind and helpful and can guide you around the premises. From the East side of the building you can go up yo St Chad's terrace and is quite and peaceful for a prayer and specially very positive vibes when hearing the choir. The giant table made with 5000 year Dark Oak wood! Worth visiting! Recommend checking the website, there is plenty of activities specially in the summer. For concerts recommend booking tickets in advance.

Large cathedral in centre of scenic Lichfield. Costs £5 voluntary donation admission. Extra to go into tower area. The cathedral has many beautiful stained glass windows. Lots of other interesting areas to visit within the building. A nice little shop selling a variety of souvenirs etc.

An absolute treasure: Wonderful to look around, have a guided tour, and listen to a concert. Do not forget to look at the very old buildings around The Close, particularly the ones near Erasmus Darwin's House. The hundreds of statues and gargoyles that adorn the walls of the cathedral are wonderful to see. Also, the resident Peregrine Falcon protecting its territory is absolutely marvelous. Well worth a visit or two. We attended the Johns' Boys Welsh Choir concert: several of the songs were so heartfelt that I had tears in my eyes.

A beautiful peaceful place. It was an impromptu visit and we were pleasantly surprised that the cathedral had a trail for children to follow around the cathedral. It was nice to be welcomed with young children who enjoyed searching for people and animals along the trail whilst admiring the architecture and learning more about characters from the bible.
