St Davids Bishop's Palace
Recommended by
Overview
These extensive and impressive ruins are all that remain of the principal residence of the Bishops of St Davids. The palace shares a quiet valley with the cathedral, which was almost certainly built on the site of a monastery founded in the 6th century by St David. There are two permanent exhibitions: the Lords of the Palace and Life in the Palace of a Prince of the Church. Photo credit: © Crown copyright (2015) Cadw

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.
