Lichfield sits in a practical spot in the West Midlands, about 18 miles north of Birmingham, but it feels a world away from the city’s sprawl. It is defined by its compact, walkable centre and the striking three-spired cathedral that has stood here in various forms since the 7th century. Historically, it was a major coaching stop between London and Chester, and that sense of being well-connected remains today; you have two railway stations, with Lichfield Trent Valley providing a direct line to London Euston in about 75 minutes. The layout of the city is largely Georgian, with brick-built streets housing independent shops and a good number of traditional pubs. For those who value outdoor space, Beacon Park offers seventy acres of refined gardens and open fields right in the heart of town. It is a quiet, orderly place with a strong sense of its own identity, balanced by easy access to the A38 and the M6 Toll for getting around the region.
