A COUNCIL leader says she hopes national attention on Lichfield will encourage more visitors to sample everything the city has to offer.

It comes after [an article in The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/jan/09/where-tourists-seldom-tread-part-14-three-english-towns-form-the-unlikely-end-of-the-silk-road?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) highlighted the city’s rich history.

The national newspaper noted the architecture of the cathedral and the wealth of Georgian buildings.

Cllr Rosie Harvey-Coggins, leader of Lichfield City Council, said:

> “It’s a privilege to live here and to lead a council that is dedicated to preserving so many of our historic landmarks.  
>  
> “It’s fantastic that The Guardian has chosen to feature Lichfield, recognising the city’s remarkable heritage.  
>  
> “There are countless fascinating stories about the people of Lichfield, including Erasmus Darwin, a key figure in the abolition of slavery and Anna Seward, the writer and poet.  
>  
> “The cathedral and the Dr Johnson Museum are both free to enter, making them wonderful destinations for families and tourists – I highly recommend a visit to either of these incredible sites.
