Lichfield in general

I have had the pleasure of visiting the town of Lichfield several times, most recently last Tuesday. Lichfield is above all a Cathedral city and has the ambience that one might expect in such a place though that isn't to say it is entirely traditional. What I really like is that it is compact so there isn't a lot of walking and searching up side streets for shops; it has, at one time and another been well-planned. The main part of the town is bordered on one side by Lichfield City Station which has regular trains to Birmingham (45 minutes) and the Bus Station; the other is bordered by the magnificent Cathedral (currently undergoing yet another ...  Read the complete review

Lichfield is a lovely little city in staffordshire. Its just north of Birmingham and takes 45 mins by train from Birmingham new street station. As a city it is a very small city, however saying that the best things come in small packages. Although it is small the shopping is very good, there are some lovely independant shops, especially along tudor row, along with your bigger stores, like new look, dorothy perkins and woolworths. There is even a TG Hughes which houses many bargains and the staff are freindly. Next to TG hughes is a totesport, this is the only betting shop I have ever ventured into as my mother told me at a young age ladies don't go into ...  Read the complete review

Lichfield is a small city not that far from my home which I love to visit at least a couple of times a month. Technically Lichfield is a city as it has a cathedral but it could be the smallest city that I have ever known. Situated close to Tamworth in Staffordshire it is a popular place as it has many activities to explore within the city. As you probably know from my other reviews I do love to have the weekly shop to de-stress after the week. However you would be pretty hard pressed to find much to buy in Lichfield as they only high street clothing stores it has is a small Dorothy Perkins but a decent sized New Look. So the times I do go to Lichfield it is ...  Read the complete review

So today I thought I would tell you a little bit about a city called Lichfield which is one of my favourite places in the whole of the UK to visit. I have always lived nearby and visit it at least once every month because I find it has so much to offer. It is a city but very small for one but I think if you ever get to visit you will find it as charming as I do and here is why. ----- Visiting Lichfield: Lichfield is located in Staffordshire and is a small city which attracts a lot of visitors due to its famous cathedral with three spires. If you would like to get to Lichfield then you need to get to the M42 motorway which takes you ...  Read the complete review

Lichfield City , that is the legend on the train station and a fact upon which Lichfield prides itself, the fact that it has city status. However, it must be one of the smallest places that has got this dubious honour, ( I know there are probably a few thousand more factually accurate folk out there rushing to their keyboards to put me right & correct this innaccuracy, but the point remains, it is not really a 'proper' city . . . ). Lichfield holds its city status by virtue of the fact it has a beautiful three spired cathedral, when in actuality it's identity is more of a busy little market town. Admittedly, it is becoming surrounded by a ring of ...  Read the complete review
