St Davids Cathedral

Wow! Why had we not heard more about this place. A beautiful Cathedral set in interesting grounds in a valley in the city. Beautiful building on a par with or better than some others we have visited.

What a gorgeous Cathedral. We also loved the interactive children's activities. But what really made this very special was the lovely Minister who stopped and spoke with the children encouraging them to be loud and enjoy themselves. He gave them a tennis ball to check out the slopped floors. He made it really special for the kids and was just such a lovely man.

This place is stunning!! Perhaps the most beautiful cathedral I have visited. Definitely one for a sunny day and come into the valley from the top. The cafes round the city close at odd times, so be prepared to walk around trying to find food if you get hungry at an “odd” time.

The perfect spot to learn about the historical importance of St David's to Wales. Dogs are allowed outside so take it in turns to visit the cathedral. There is plenty of information for visitors provided as you make your way through the cathedral. Beautiful artwork is displayed throughout and you can light a candle in prayer /remembrance should you choose to do so. There is a small gift shop inside and a second gift shop a short walk away. There are public toilets, nearby parking and benches. Helpful volunteers present. There is a suggested donation of £5 per person. This allows for the upkeep of the cathedral. There are concerts on regularly as well as church services.

This place is absolutely huge! We arrived after closing but a majority of this you can check out and explore for free. Could not get over the size of this huge place. Great history and achievements made building this so long ago!!!

What a wonderful place. Perfect for a concert. The London Film Music Orchestra there was superb. The refectory upstairs however wasn’t great. Not very welcoming for food and drink before the concert.

Stunning peaceful morning spent here. Mamgu (cafe) well worth a visit, excellent quality & prices.

Amazing Cathedral, worth the visit with historical references, cafe, gift shop, toilets and ruins. Donation $5 suggested, ruins additional paid admission.

Visited April 2015: "Impressive Cathedral in the smallest town in South Wales" We decided to walk the 5 minutes from our hotel down the street to St David's Cathedral. It was Easter Sunday, so we knew that we would not get the full tour of the location. We took several photos of the graveyard, the Bishop's Palace, and the stream. We then asked one of the parishioners if we could go inside before their next service. We decided not to take photos due to the service starting soon. There was several stain glass windows, a large ornate organ behind the altar, and wooden ceiling. We sat down near a large column made out of cement. The detail work in this church was incredible. One of the parishioners approached us and spoke to us about the church, their services, and attendants. I could easily see myself coming here again and photographing the splendor.

This is the Cathedral of Wales and contains the relics of St David . Its pretty remote but well worth the trip . The inside is gorgous architecture mostly norman with a few victorian updates but parts of the building go way back in history . There has been a church on this site for over 1500 years .

An incredible sight as you walk down the lane to the building, is the view of the complex from above with ancient headstones dotted about the grass. The cathedral is built on the site of a 6th century monastery. The building itself is 14 century and a delight to see the incredible workmanship in all the carvings and in particular the ceiling! There are exhibitions of chalices and suchlike and about St. David himself. And a refectory/cafe/restaurant. I found it fascinating and look forward to going again.

The cathedral is beautifull it is worth going to see just for the building itself. It is a really relaxing place and the interior is really wonderfull. It is set in st davids which is close to many beaches. Definatly worth a visit.
