With Pembrokeshire Coast National Park as part of its coastline, St David's has attracted artists, surfers, pilgrims, and travellers for years. See what the fuss is about with a St David's cottage.

Traditional pub grub and more

St David's culinary scene covers it all, from modern fine dining establishments to beautiful old gastropubs. The Farmers Arms is a traditional pub full of character, featuring a cosy space called the Glue Pot where locals gather for their daily banter. Try their fresh battered fish, scampi, and beers on tap.

St David's Kitchen, near the cathedral, is regaled for its melt-in-your-mouth steak preparations, vegetarian mains, and British cuisine served with attention and professionalism. Gianni's Ice Cream takes care of those sugar cravings – its sorbets and cappuccino, death by chocolate, and raspberry dodge ice cream wait to be devoured.

A culture town

The town centre houses important historical landmarks, such as the 14th-century Tower Gate and Celtic Old Cross. The final resting place of Wales's patron saint, St David, is pink and grey St David's Cathedral. Grab a coffee at the in-house Refectory Café.

Right opposite is the spectacular ruin of Bishops Palace, a testament to the wealth and power of the church. Catch an event here if possible. Finally, check out St Davids Lifeboat Station, which showcases the bravery of lifeboatsmen through its interesting displays.

Coastal fun

St David's is an ideal base for scuba diving, kayaking, and swimming. A nature exploration boat tour is a great way to explore the Welsh coastline. You could also join a guided nature work with a local expert who'll explain it all, from seal and porpoise behaviour to the region's coastal flora.

Take the boat down to Ramsey Island, an RSPB reserve known for its migratory and nesting birds. Hikers will love the scenic Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which runs along the coastline of the national park.
