Situated on a rugged peninsula, this land is a patch work of history. Neolithic burial chambers stand in silent command, overlooking sites of Viking raids, while the memories of thousands of pilgrims moving silently to and from the shrine at St Davids, give an air of peace and tranquility.

Beneath St Davids lie some of the oldest rocks in Britain, dating back to the Pre-Cambrian period, around 600 million years ago.  When drifting continents collided the rocks on ether side buckled and split.  You can see spectacular evidence of this in the cliffs all around St Davids.

The area is full of legends rooted in the landscape, where place names reflect ancient memories.  Saints and chieftains, pirates and kings have all left their mark on the map of Pembrokeshire.

Legend says St David was born above a rocky bay to the south of the city, a magical spot which has been sacred for 4,000 years.  Here a ruined chapel dedicated to David's mother, St Non, lies within a bronze age stone circle.  Nearby is a holy well said to have appeared as a spring at the birth of David.
