Lichfield

Lichfield in Staffordshire, England is a compact cathedral city set on rising ground between the River Trent and the River Tame, roughly sixteen miles north of Birmingham. Its skyline is dominated by the three-spired medieval Lichfield Cathedral, and the historic Cathedral Close and Georgian streets give the city a strong sense of heritage.

Despite its small size, Lichfield has a lively cultural life - it’s the birthplace of Dr Samuel Johnson and hosts arts events such as the Lichfield Festival - and a mix of tourism, independent shops and commuter links into the West Midlands. Green spaces like Beacon Park, nearby canals and ongoing heritage projects mean the city balances historic charm with a quiet, prosperous local economy.
