St David's is to be found on the St David's peninsula in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The town, or to be correct the City, is as attractive to visitors today as it ever was to medieval pilgrims visiting the shrine of St David. The City is named after David the patron saint of Wales who according to tradition was born on the cliff tops nearby.
The town itself though small has more facilities than might be expected and offers a Marine Life Centre and the national trust's St David's Visitor Centre with information on National Trust properties throughout the county.
St David's is also a centre for those who prefer a more active holiday with local companies offering training or simply equipment hire for sea kayaking, surfing, windsurfing, climbing, and coasteering (jumping off cliffs into the ocean). Or you may take a boat trip to Ramsey Island RSPB Reserve with it's dramatic scenery and abundant wildlife. Another company offers wildlife adventures around the islands with opportunities for dolphin and whale watching.
