Let’s put this in perspective. London has over 8 million people. St Davids has about 1,800. You could fit the entire population of St Davids into a single tube train carriage during rush hour—and still have room for more!

Geographically, it’s even more striking. The entire city footprint is smaller than many golf courses. You could walk across it in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Isn’t that a wild thought?
But It’s Not Just a Cathedral, Right?
Oh, absolutely not. St Davids sits on the edge of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, one of the most beautiful coastlines in the UK. The city is the gateway to stunning beaches like Whitesands Bay, a surfing paradise.
You can hike the coastal path, spot seals and dolphins, and then return to the city for a pasty and a pint. It’s like having a tiny, ancient city as your base camp for an outdoor adventure. Pretty cool, huh?
