With a population of around 1,500 people, St Davids is the smallest city in Great Britain. It is, in reality, a village but, with its medieval Cathedral, Bishops Palace and myriad of old stone Cottages, one that has a wonderfully unique ambience. The village sits in the centre of the peninsula, right at the heart of the conservation area of the Pembrokeshire National Park.

It is a spectacularly beautiful but unspoilt area, a well-kept secret for those who like to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and who have a love of ?old-fashioned values' - it is indeed the ?Jewel in the Crown of Wales'.
