St Davids Cathedral
Recommended by
Overview
Begun 1181 on the reputed site of St Davids 6th-century monastic settlement, the present building was altered during the 12th to the 14th centuries and again in the 16th. The ceilings of oak, painted wood and stone vaulting are of considerable interest. The medieval Shrine of St David, a focus for pilgrimage since the 12th-century, was restored in 2012 and now contains five new icons depicting local saints together with a painted canopy.

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.
