Pembrokeshire Holiday Cottage in Solva

Solva is a sailor's paradise, and a paradise for holiday makers. It's the perfect location for your Pembrokeshire holiday cottage.

West Pembrokeshire is rich with places of natural beauty and places which are a must to visit. For a start, it is surrounded by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with spectacular coastal scenery renowned for its beauty and abundance of wildlife. The footpaths are a must for anyone interested in such natural beauty.

For outstanding beauty of the manmade kind, then a short trip to St Davids is another must. Despite St Davids being little bigger than a village, it gets city status from its magnificent national treasure, St David's Cathedral, making it Britain’s smallest city.

St. David is the patron saint of Wales. Legend claims he was born around 500 A.D. He was the founder of a strict monastic order in the town that bears his name, and was the most influential clergyman in all Wales during the "Age of Saints." Nowhere in Britain is there a more ancient cathedral settlement. St David chose this wild, beautiful region as the site for his monastery in the 6th century. Today, you will find his shrine within this purple-stoned cathedral nestling inconspicuously in a grassy hollow beneath the rooftops of the tiny city.

Below the cathedral, stand the magnificent ruins of the medieval Bishops Palace. Dating from the 14th century but derelict from the 18th, this splendid medieval ruin still conveys the affluence and power of the medieval church. Unlike the frugal founding saint, the bishops of St Davids in the middle ages enjoyed all the trapping of wealth and influence. The Palace was largely the work of Bishop Henry de Gower (1328-47) who built the great hall.

St Davids, the smallest city in Britain.

St Davids today is a most attractive place with narrow streets filled with cafes, restaurants, hotels and art galleries - but only one pub! The 13th Century Tower Gate and the Celtic Old Cross are also well worth a look. The highlight of every summer is St David's Cathedral Festival held in May - an annual celebration of classical music and the chance to see the most historic and revered building in Wales. Attractions in the area also include a marine life centre, a sea aquarium, adventure boat trips to the offshore islands and a 9-hole links golf course.
