Purple-stone cathedral in Britain's smallest city.
St Davids Cathedral stands in a hollow below the little cathedral city, on the site of the monastery St David founded in the 6th century. The present building was begun in 1181, and the nave is roofed with a carved Irish oak ceiling put up in the 1530s. Pilgrims have come here for well over a thousand years: a medieval papal ruling held that two journeys to St Davids equalled one to Rome. There’s no station close by — Haverfordwest is about 23km east.
