The cache is not at the listed co-ordinates which is one of the spires of Lichfield Cathedral. Whilst you can get up here on occasion, it will provide nothing but an excellent view. This is a multi which traverses the city of Lichfield. If you follow from A through to J (there is no letter I) you will be within striking distance of the final location.
There are lots of places to have a coffee, snack or more engaging meal in Lichfield as you will surely notice on your way round.
Parking in Lichfield can be found on street for varying times (depending on where you park) and there are the Pay & Display Car Parks at the following locations: Greenhough Road , Shaw Lane, Bird Street, Birmingham Road, Greenhill, Lombard Street, Sandford Street. Greenhough Road and Shaw Lane are best priced at £0.20 for two hours and £0.40 for four hours or £3 all day. I am sure there is other parking – visitlichfield.co.uk may be of help here.
