This is a beautiful site. The choir boys had just finished rehearsing when we got there and the organist was playing. There was a welcome sign on the door and entry was free. Inside was lovely and also moving with plaques on the walls to the local Welsh men killed in various wars. I had not realized the UK/empire had... More

The weekend away was made perfect the moment I entered the Cathedral. The welcome was wonderful. The music and singing way above expectation and the new organ so beautifully crafted and played told a story of its own. Sung Eucharist, not too early of a Sunday morning, 11.00am, with the Archdeacon preaching was a delight which will never leave me.... More

Easy parking and not too far to walk to the Cathedral. Breathtaking inside and outside. Set into a lovely village, well worth a visit.

Evensong on Good Friday was amazing! We arrived early enough to explore the cathedral before the service. Fascinating history, and the singing we heard was beautiful. Go often and donate to help preserve this gem. There is no charge to enter and walk about, only a few pence for a brochure to self-tour, and there is obviously great expense in... More

WE cycled from Cardiff Bay to the cathedral - meant to take 20 mins but got lost so arrived saddle sore over an hour later, however enjoyed a walk round on arrival. The Majestus Christ Crucified is an interesting modern monument erected amongst the old by Sir Jacob Einstein in the 50s. The cathedral was damaged by a landmine in... More
