Sutton Coldfield Transmitting Station

Highlight • Monument

While you can't directly access the site, you can't really miss the aerial. The Sutton Coldfield transmitting station opened in 1949, bringing BBC TV to viewers outside of the south-east of England for the first time. The mast stands at a mighty 270.5 metres (887 ft) and is one of the most powerful transmitters in England, powered at 200 kilowatts ERP for digital television and 250 kW for FM radio. It's really quite an impressive tower and its signal covers a range from Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire to Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire, with relay stations extending its reach even further.

Lichfield Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Lichfield Cathedral is a stunning medieval church and the only cathedral in England with three spires. Built from 1195 to 1340, the cathedral wasn't always a calm place – it was severely damaged during the English Civil War. During this time, soldiers demolished the central spire, smashed the stained glass and damaged the roof. The destruction was only fully repaired in the 19th century.

You can visit the cathedral from 9.30am - 5pm Monday to Saturday and from 12.30pm - 5pm on Sundays. For more information, visit: lichfield-cathedral.org
