City Wharf

Whatever your scene, a lazy day with friends, a day's tour taking in delights such as the fantastic cathedral, or a non-stop night out in the city, there's an ever-changing cityscape on offer in Lichfield.  Chic, continental-style bars sit well among traditional pubs, while quaint boutiques complement reliable high-street names for those with more than a spot of retail therapy on their agenda.

There's also a burgeoning art scene, thanks to the revival of the Lichfield Garrick.  The Black Box Studio brings a new theatre space to the city, marking out a new era in art - an ideal place to head if you're looking not only to unwind, but to be inspired at the same time.

The pulse of the city, the height of culture, the smartest apartments and homes, Lichfield has it all.  Coutryside walks, cycle rides, nature reserves, a shooting ground, arts festivals, beer festivals and not one, but five leisure centres - life never stops in Lichfield, and at City Wharf you're at the heart of the action.

The best of both worlds

When it comes to lifestyle, Lichfield really does spoil you for choice.  If it's restaurants you're after, you'll find everything your palette can handle - from Spanish and French to Indian and Thai foods.  The shops are just as varied too, with a blend of independent and high street retailers, including the Three Spires Shopping Centre.  Plus Drayton Manor Theme Park is only a short drive away in Tamworth, and there are pubs, sports centres and theatres the length and breadth of the city.

Of course, sometimes you might choose to do nothing at all.  And there's nowhere more pleasurable to chill out than Lichfield.  Chasewater Country Park, for example, is as relaxing as it sounds.  Or you might prefer the tranquility of the Bluebell Woods of Yoxall Lodge, set in beautiful, rolling parkland.

Getting around

A 30 minute train ride from Birmingham, City Wharf is something of a commuter's paradise.  Living here gives you access to all that the UK's second city has to offer, yet without the congestion, complications and costs associated with living there.  And, because Lichfield is so close to the M6 Toll and A38, it offers easy access to the rest of Britain too.

A sense of history.  An eye on the future.

There are few cities as undeniably charming as Lichfield.  Some of the architecture dates back as far as 700AD and the city's fantastic market has been in operation since 1153.  But don't be fooled, Lichfield is also moving into the future.  Events such as the Lichfield Festival and Lichfield Bower are establishing themselves as new traditions here, and becoming just as vital to the community as the city's wealth of craft fairs, museums and parks.
