About

Lichfield district in Staffordshire occupies an area north of Birmingham in the West Midlands region. It includes the cathedral city of Lichfield, the town of Burntwood and a network of villages such as Alrewas and Fradley. The landscape mixes farmland, small woodlands and waterways. Canals run through the district; at Fradley Junction the Coventry Canal meets the Trent and Mersey Canal, creating a cluster of moorings and towpath routes that connect to wider inland waterways.

The district's centre is Lichfield Cathedral, noted for its three spires and a medieval choir. The city also contains the house where Samuel Johnson was born, preserved as a museum. To the north, the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas provides a concentrated collection of memorials and commemorative plantings set within managed grounds. Local lanes and footpaths link villages, canals and churchyards, and agricultural land surrounds the settlements, framing the district's pattern of small towns and countryside.
