St Rhian's Church, Llanrhian

Highlight • Religious Site

Quite unusual, this church: its tower, its cruciform plan and - that I’ve not seen before - it’s oriented SW-NE.
(And why not??) Inside, it’s peaceful calm, welcoming and with a cared-for atmosphere. Go visit if you’re passing.

Whitesands Beach

Highlight • Rest Area

Whitesands is an amazing beach in St David’s with, unsurprisingly, white sands. One of the best surf spots in the world and a great place to people-watch! You can walk …

Bishop's Palace and St Davids Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The picturesque remains of Bishop's Palace can be found alongside St David’s Cathedral. During the medieval period, this would have been the finest collection of buildings in Wales. Today, the ruins are a delightful place to explore.

St David's Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Historic place and the UK's smallest city in terms of population. A touristy seaside town with plenty of places to resupply. I'd highly recommend visiting the Cathedral and sampling the fish and chips!

Newgale Beach

Highlight • Beach

Newgale beach stretches along 2 miles of sand backed by a huge pebble bank formed after a big storm in 1859. It's either a steep climb, or a long climb to get here, depending on your direction of travel.
