Highlights
An original and hilarious comedy walking tour of St Davids, guided by "the actual" St David and his 11th century biographer. This is a unique experience, covering thousands of years of absurd mythology and, at times, questionable local history, based on the medieval works of Rhygyfarch the Wise. Expect heavily-embellished part-biographical stories from Wales's patron saint, as well as stories about Vikings, monks and leeks, all within the beautiful surroundings of Britain's Smallest City. This brilliantly imaginative and very silly tour is a must-do activity for anyone looking to do something different on their stay in Pembrokeshire, suitable for all ages. Dogs also welcome. For large groups (10+) please get in touch via email.
