We were staying in Manorbier and had a run out to St Davids without really knowing what to expect. I have to say the first sight was breathtaking, a photographers dream. But also the amenities in the area were excellent. The whole trip was totally an enjoyable experience. More

After a lovely walk through Bute Park some 2 miles we arrived at the Cathedral to find that it was closed. It turned out to be because of the impending Royal visit.

It is my local Cathedral I love the sense of peace the wonderful ceilings and best of all the misericords in the choir stalls. There are amazing concerts with world class performers, the services are meaningful and puts one in touch with a past that dates back to the time of Dewi Sant one and a half thousand years ago More
