St David's sits on the far western tip of Pembrokeshire, Wales, and is famed as one of Britain’s smallest cities. The compact centre is dominated by the medieval St David's Cathedral and the surrounding green of the Cathedral Close, while nearby clifftops and coves around St Davids Head give dramatic coastal scenery and popular walking routes within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

Long associated with pilgrimage to Saint David and medieval ecclesiastical power, the city’s historic buildings - including the ruined Bishop's Palace - now help anchor a visitor-focused local economy of galleries, independent shops, cafes and accommodation, alongside farming and conservation work. Socially it feels like a close-knit community with a lively calendar of religious and cultural events and a strong emphasis on protecting its unique landscape and heritage.
