Lichfield is a small cathedral city with a big presence: its cathedral is the only medieval one in England with three spires. It was the birthplace of Samuel Johnson, and the National Memorial Arboretum just outside the city draws veterans' associations, schools and remembrance groups from all over the country.
Lichfield sits close to the M6 Toll and the A38, with Birmingham Airport and the NEC around half an hour away, so it is a convenient pickup point for Staffordshire and the north of the West Midlands.
