Since we had plans with family in Lichfield, we fit the sightseeing in around that. When we came upon the Erasmus Darwin House, we were quite sad to see it was closed. But we strolled through the beautiful herb garden--worth the visit in itself. A lovely garden cat welcomed us. The exterior of the house is beautiful, overlooking the town... More

The link to Charles Darwin is noticeable in the house of his grandfather who was a famous doctor. A few good displays, but don't spend too much time here. More

This is only a small place, but there's loads of information and things to see and do for children young and old. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful and because one of the staff was 5 mins late opening up, she gave us free coffee and biscuits! I'd suggest going during school terms/off peak so that it's quieter and... More

While I enjoyed the history behind the house and the place Erasmus Darwin occupies in history there was very little to see. Just a few rooms with sparse furniture and some background. I think you would be lucky to spend mare than about an hour there. More

Again another must visit place for young children and families. We love nothing more than to stroll through the herb garden explaining to the children about all the different plants and what their purposes in life are. There is usually 2 French rabbits in a hutch there too which again amuses the children no end. More
