What a truly beautiful spiritual place to see. It's definitely worth a visit to sit and reflect in such a peaceful setting.

I’m not sure that I would plan a special visit to this site. It’s got lovely views, an interesting story but there is only ruins. It does provide good access to the Coastal Path.

The family strolled past here while walking the cliffs round St Davids'. The site is a ruin just overlooking the cliffs below the city. You can't miss it from the path below. St David was supposed to have been born here round about the 6th century. There is a plaque to commemorate this. People can wander in and out at leisure.

A great place with magnificent views. I wish there was a little more disabled access around there though.

We walked from St Davids and got soaked on the way back. The well is interesting but the chapel is less so

A good walk to get there, but it is inspiring. To visit the Holy Well (although I don't think you should drink) I bathed my hands to feel the history. St. Nons chapel is a lovely reminder of the past and significance of St. Davids.

As part of the coastal path walk by St. Davids you should the church and well. On a sunny day this is a great way to take a break from the coastal path walk.

Not sure what to say, it's a chapel, a hidden well, and a tumbledown piles of stones. Worth a look if you're already on the walk

Not sure but some friends walked back to St. Davids from the Chapel. I believe it took them about 20 minutes. The tourist center should be able to answer your question.

Can you walk from the city centre to this place or anywhere on the coastal path? I wanted to park up and see the town and then have a nice walk somewhere, but I'm not familiar with the area at all and struggling to get the right info online. Also if anyone knows about car parks in town that would be great.

There are two main car parks. One by the tourist information centre, as you drive into St Davids on the Havorford West road, and another long stay car park by the supermarket in St Davids. You should be able to find both easily.
