Culture
 You don't have to go far in Pembrokeshire to find links to Welsh culture,old and new. Afterall, Pembrokeshire was the birthplace of Wales' patron saint, St.David.
The Welsh language is alive and thriving in Pembrokeshire, and you will find it hard not to hear it especially if you visit local shops, post offices or banks. However, English is widely spoken so you don't have to learn Welsh to be understood!

- The tiny " City "of St.Davids with its famous Cathedral and Bishops Palace
