All about Saint Davids

Welcome to the United Kingdom’s smallest city, named after Wales’ patron saint, sitting beautifully on the most westerly point of the country. It’s a city because of its historic cathedral, built on a 6th-century monastic site and redeveloped impressively in medieval and Victorian times. Just across the River Alun sit the equally grand ruins of Bishops Palace: an ornate 700-year-old wheel window in a wall of the Great Hall gives a measure of the building’s original majesty.

The rest of the city is a small cluster of streets around open green spaces, with brightly painted buildings hosting cafes, shops, and galleries. The town is also only 2.5 miles from the surfers’ paradise of Whitesands Beach, facing the windy waves of the Irish Sea, and near smaller coves such as Caerfai with its multicoloured rocks, and the craggier Porthmelgan and Porthselau (accessible via the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path). The area is also known for great ice cream parlours and independent restaurants, the local speciality, of course, being seafood.

St Non’s Chapel and Holy Well

A mile south of St Davids, on a stretch of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path full of dramatic cliffs, are the ruins of a medieval chapel, built on the site of a 6th-century house where St David himself was said to have been born. St Non was his mother, and a well bearing her name sits alongside it, hosting a small shrine and stone grotto. A modern chapel and retreat centre also add to the site’s spiritual setting.

The Oriel y Parc Landscape Gallery and Visitor Centre

Based in a fully accessible, eco-friendly modern building, this beautiful visitor centre and gallery showcases treasures from the National Museum of Wales and work by Pembrokeshire artists.
