St David's in Pembrokeshire is unlike any other city in the UK. With fewer than 2,000 residents, it holds the title of the smallest city by population, but it’s rich in history and charm.
Set along the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast, St David's combines history, natural beauty, and tranquillity, making it a special place for visitors.
Many people who visit say they never want to leave. One Reddit thread about the area had lots of comments, with one person saying, "If I lived there, I would never leave or even wonder what other places looked like."
One of the main reasons St David's is so loved is its mix of religious significance and natural beauty. It’s named after St David, Wales' patron saint, who founded a monastery here in the 6th century.
His legacy lives on through St David's Cathedral, a stunning building from the 12th century. Next to it are the ruins of the Bishop's Palace, which show the area’s medieval importance.
But it's not just the history that draws people in. St David's is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Visitors love the coastal paths and nearby beaches. Whitesands Bay, popular with surfers and beach lovers, is close by.
Abereiddy Beach, known for its famous Blue Lagoon, has a wilder feel and is great for rock-pooling. The wide-open spaces and big skies here are truly unforgettable.
Along with all this, St David's is near more fantastic beaches, including Caerfai and Whitesands.
