You’re probably thinking, “How can a village be a city?” That’s the cool part. In the UK, city status isn’t about size; it’s about history and having a cathedral. St Davids has both in spades.
It’s named after the patron saint of Wales, Saint David, who was born here around 500 AD. The magnificent St Davids Cathedral sits in a hollow, hidden from the sea to protect it from Viking raiders. Talk about a hidden gem.
What Makes It So Special?
Imagine a place where the main street has a handful of cosy shops, a local pub, and a cathedral that looks like it belongs in a fantasy novel. That’s St Davids. It’s more like a village with a cathedral pass than a bustling city.
The atmosphere is incredibly chill. You can walk from one end of the “city centre” to the other in less than ten minutes. It’s so quiet you can hear the seabirds and the waves crashing against the nearby cliffs.
