St. David's, United Kingdom

Founded – according to tradition – by the Welsh patron saint himself in 550, ST DAVID'S (Tyddewi) is one of the most enchanting and evocative spots in Britain. This miniature city clusters around its cathedral at the westernmost point of Wales on a windswept, treeless peninsula of awesome ruggedness. The country's spiritual and ecclesiastical centre, St Davids was granted official city status in 1995. Today, with so many historical sites, outdoor-pursuit centres, surf beaches, good cafés, superb walks, bathing and climbing, St David's and its peninsula are a must if you want to experience Wales at its wildest.
