Britain's smallest city JUST 1600 inhabitants

St Davids

St Davids is the smallest city in Britain with a population of just over 1,600 and named after the patron saint of Wales, Saint David. The roots of St Davids go back to the 4th century and was designated as a conservation area by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in 1972.

The magnificent Cathedral at St Davids dates back to the 12th century, although several older cathedrals were built before that on the same site. Unfortunately, St Davids was prone to Viking attacks, being so close to the sea. The Vikings destroyed several of the older structures. Modern day St Davids is a quaint and characterful place much loved by everyone who knows it.
