St Davids is a tiny city tucked into the far west of Pembrokeshire in Wales, famously the smallest city in the UK and set within the dramatic cliffs and bays of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It sits close to Ramsey Island and overlooks Cardigan Bay, with popular nearby surf and sand at Whitesands Bay; the skyline is dominated by St David's Cathedral, a medieval pilgrimage site whose origins recall the early Welsh saint after whom the place is named.
Today the economy revolves around tourism, farming and small-scale fishing, with a busy summer season and a tightly knit local community year-round; visitors come for wildlife-watching, walking and surfing as much as for the historic buildings and the ruins of the bishops' palace. There’s a lively cultural feel for such a small city, with concerts, festivals and artisan shops that reflect both the long heritage and the active creative scene.
