St David's

Introduction

St David's is a village/city; a village by virtue of its size; a city by virtue of its atmospheric cathedral and Bishop's Palace.

Sights and Activities

St David's is at the west end of the northernmost peninsula in Pembrokeshire that points west. The coast all round it is both picturesque and varied. It includes a spectacular beach at Whitesands Bay with a fine walk to Coetan Arthur and St David's Head. There is a life-boat station at Porthstinian and to the south are St Non's Chapel and Caerfai Beach.

In the village/city itself the most stunning sight is the cathedral. Building started in the 12th century and there have been numerous changes and additions. It was never meant to be seen from too far away because of Irish sea raiders and is a proof that height is far from being the only contributor to a cathedral's beauty.

On the other side of a small stream is the Bishop's Palace.

The Royal Mail provides postal services in the United Kingdom.

It's common for a post office to be incorporated into a grocery store, where there will be a small counter located at the back of the store for dealing with post related matters. All post offices are marked with signs that say 'post office' in red lettering. Post boxes can be found at any post office and standalone large red post boxes on the streets or red boxes in the sides of public buildings.
