Lichfield

What a little gem!

Having decided not to cycle from Whittington to Lichfield we jumped on a bus to take us to explore, for us, this unknown city.
A most delicious egg, bacon and sausage sandwich from 'Tasty The Cafe' in Conduit Street (we thoroughly recommend this little cafe), set us up for our exploration.

We discovered a fascinating  city full of characterful buildings, pretty public gardens, a lake (Minster Pool), lots of history, thanks to the city museum and, of course, a stunning Cathedral.
A busy but most enjoyable day and definitely a city to revisit some time in the future.

From a chilly morning it had turned into a beautiful afternoon so, since the engine needed running on our return to Hunters Moon, we travelled a short way down the canal to Huddlesford, where we found a lovely mooring to enjoy the pleasant evening sunshine.
