Pembrokeshire coastal path - National Park - Our guests enjoy easy access to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, the blue flag beaches of Whitesands and Newgale, the attractive bays of Caerfai, Abereiddi and Traeth Llyfn and the scenic harbours of Porthclais, Porthgain and Solva.
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'.
