Taking the Walsall Road away from Lichfield leads to the A5 for journeys east to Cannock. There is a regular bus service to Lichfield City Centre Bus Station located from Walsall Road which is easily reached via an alley at the end of Leamonsley Road, across Christchurch Lane.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES Being one of the smallest cities in the UK, one of the endearing benefits of living in Lichfield is that the City Centre is within a 30–45-minute walk, where there are plenty of famous and independent restaurants and shops. The city is steeped in history including the cathedral, churches, and the Birthplace of Dr Samuel Johnson, credited for compiling the English dictionary amongst other literary achievements. Sharing the same name as this property, The Lichfield Garrick Theatre is named after another of Lichfield’s famous sons, the 18th Century playwright David Garrick. The nearest supermarket is a large Waitrose store on nearby Darwin Park. Considering its size, Lichfield is also home to a surprising number of supermarkets including a Morrisons, Co-operative, Tesco Extra, Aldi & Lidl supermarkets.
