Modern day St Davids is a quaint and character-full place. St Davids Peninsula has some of the most magnificent coastal scenery in Pembrokeshire. This is the heart of The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and coast path walking is delightful.

The magnificent Cathedral at St Davids dates back to the 12th century, and along with the Bishop’s Palace draws thousands of visitors to the area throughout the year.

Oriel y Parc Gallery, the National Park visitor centre, accommodates a state of the art gallery used to display national treasures, including the works of Graham Sutherland who was a Pembrokeshire resident for much of his life.

Outdoor activities are second to none: walking, surfing, canoeing, coasteering, climbing, yachting and fishing. Boat trips to the islands of Ramsey, Skomer and Grassholm are a must where you can observe the most remarkable wild life such as seals, dolphins and porpoises, in addition to the amazing bird life of Ramsey Island managed by the RSPB.

The streets, although quieter in the winter months, are alive with excellent shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants and in summer concerts and plays fill the evenings, including the world renowned annual St Davids Cathedral Festival.

The coastline is well served by the Puffin Shuttle, which heads down around St Brides Bay and the Strumble Shuttle, which connects various points on the coast between St Davids and Fishguard. Both services are ideal for anyone walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
