Rising above the tiny city of St Davids on a picturesque peninsula in Pembrokeshire, this glorious cathedral is one of the greatest religious sites in Wales. A place steeped in history, the present 12th-century structure stands where St David, the patron saint of Wales, founded a monastery around AD 600. With its intricate architecture, historic artworks and magnificent chapel, St Davids Cathedral is a real highlight of a visit to Britain’s smallest city.
