- MikeGlossop, UK1,465 contributionsAs you walk a section of the path the views seem to get better and better! There is a useful summer bus service 3 times a day, 7 days a week from Newport to St David’s to drop off and pick up walkers.Written 21 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sightseer132687036392 contributionsMe and my Husband went today. We really enjoyed our visit. It's such a peaceful place and the grounds are lovely to stroll round. It was interesting going into each room and trying to imagine what it would have been like when it was first built.
I'd like to thank Amanda who was in the beautiful little gift shop. She is so knowledgeable and you can tell how much she enjoys her work. Thank you for answering all our questions.
We said we will definitely be going back.
The cathedral was amazing as well.Written 4 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - NKPCJUnited Kingdom21 contributionsAbsolutely amazing place !
Best activity in Pembrokeshire!
We have visited the area for 30 years never seen anything like this !Written 21 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - JonathanEvansBeverley, UK86 contributionsWe booked the visit to the island through Thousand Islands who have the exclusive landing rights to Ramsey.
A very pleasant boat ride over to the Island and then it was time to explore. You can walk round the whole island in about 4 hours at a leisurely pace.
Take your own packed lunch, as apart from a few drink options (and the compost toilets) there are no other facilities on the island. Make sure you take home your rubbish.
Views from the island on a lovely summers day were staggering, with green seas and landscapes that melted into the distance.
Highly recommended when the weather is good.Written 14 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - FiftyFifty5050Montgomery, UK922 contributionsIf nothing else it is worth coming to the Visitor Centre just to see the building; a building in the round, or semi-circular, lovely stone and materials with a courtyard and a shape which just draws you in.
There is an extensive area for Visitor Information and staff to help you with queries about locations and things to do, coupled with a tasteful Gift Shop and a cafe.
Les than a minute's walk from a large public car park and another 2-3 minutes walk into the city, nothing in St David's is too far of a walk away. In fact, the Visitor Centre is the first place you come to on the way into the city and a great introduction to finding out all that the area has to offer.
Innovative design, yest really fitting into the architecture of the city.Written 6 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Chris NWorthing, UK165 contributionsWell worth the short walk from St David’s.
Easily found at the end of an accessible track you will find the well and statue. Through a gate you will come across the ruins with beautiful clifftop views across the horizon.
A short walk to the new chapel with messages left to passed loved ones on the window sills.
A sense of peace and calm dominates the area.Written 16 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Golden sands with plenty of room for everyone and lovely walks too.Written 25 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- William P31 contributionsThis is a lovely place. We come every year, talk to the very knowledgeable gentleman who runs it and the plants we buy are always first class.
A place not to missWritten 14 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The views are amazing and once you're in the lifeboat station the staff are very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. It is worth checking beforehand when the lifeboat station is open It's definitely well worth a visit.Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matt_Y2302Cardiff, UK325 contributionsA beautiful beach that welcomes dogs all year round. A hidden gem along a country road. Worth a visit if you are in the area or even walking along the coastal path.Written 17 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Spacehopper2000Hereford, UK20 contributionsWe stay in St David's a couple of times a year - and Goat Street Gallery is one place I always have to visit. Previous purchases have been anything from a stained glass crow, to a selection of handmade gift tags to a wonderfully tactile cushion. This visit was no different, and my goodness - the place never disappoints!
There was the most beautiful abstract painting, by Zoe Taylor(?) if only I had a spare £1000 in my account, it would have been mine! Seriously - totally gorgeous. And now I am back at home, and looking at the wall where it could have/should have been hanging, I am beginning to regret not blowing my overdraft on it....
A wonderful space, with an array of the most incredible artistic creations. Time spent here, is good for the soul.Written 31 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
