Try Cwtch Restaurant, the St Davids Kitchen, the Bishops pub or Saffron Indian Restaurant – there is a good range of both fine dining and pub grub on offer in St Davids Davids Cathedral, Music Festival and the Bishops' Palace Tucked away in the valley below the town is St Davids' wonderful medieval Cathedral - take time to enjoy the history and atmosphere of this very special place. Dating back to 1181, the Cathedral is both church and historic building. Guide books and volunteer stewards will help you understand some of its differing fortunes across the centuries. Try coffee or a meal in the remarkable refectory - a modern insert in the 14th century St Mary's Hall. At the end of May is the Cathedral Music Festival – the culmination of a full programme of music performed in the Cathedral throughout the year. It has an international reputation and draws audiences from far and wide!
