Lichfield: In the Heart of the Midlands

by Tom_Fields - last update: Nov 28, 2005

Lichfield

Lichfields, an old Cathedral City in the Midlands
Perhaps this town is overshadowed by Birmingham. It is not one of the country's top tourist destinations, but certainly worth a visit. If you go to Birmingham for a few days or more, take one day to see this charming town.

The Industrial Revolution mostly bypassed Lichfield; that's probably why it still retains its old, medieval character. The town has a lot of history.
