St Dogmaels Abbey and Court House
Recommended by
Overview
St Dogmaels Abbey was formally founded by Robert fitz Martin and his wife, Maud Peverel, in 1120, and built on, or very near to, the site of the ancient pre-Norman-conquest church of Llandudoch. Among the ruins of the old abbey church original 15th-century floor tiles can still be seen in large areas along the length of the nave. The site takes its name from Dogmael, a 6th-century Christian saint, reputedly the cousin of St David. Following the Dissolution, the abbey was converted into a private mansion. In the restored Coach House there is a museum and visitor centre that displays a collection of early Christian stones and the beautiful carved stones that once adorned the abbey.

About the area
Wales meets the Atlantic Ocean in spectacular fashion at Pembrokeshire. Unlike the West Country, Pembrokeshire can offer the coast without the crowds, and quaint fishing villages without those huge coach parks.
