The campsite is within easy walking distance of both the ‘city’ centre (10 minutes walk) and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path (5 minutes walk the opposite way). The beach Caerfai is located just 500 metres to the south and Whitesands bay is just 3 miles to the West. The campsite lies in the grounds of the main house and although it is in a rural location it is the closest campsite to St Davids.We can help organise surf lessons, guided walks, fishing trips and boat trips. Some companies offer discounts to Glan-Y-Mor residents which include Whitesands Surf School, Ma Simes Surf Hut and St Davids Guided WalksAttractionsCathedralThe city is based around the Cathedral, which was built on the site of Davids monastery in the 12th century. It became a popular place of pilgrimage in the middle ages after Pope Calixtus 11 decreed that two pilgrimages to St Davids was equal to one to Rome. As a result a vast income was raised by visiting pilgrims.Bishops PalaceNext to the Cathedral lies the 14th century Bishops Palace which, now a ruin, is in the care of Cadw and is open to visitors.Oriel Y ParcDedicated to the exploration of landscape, this stunning new gallery, visitor and education centre in St Davids is set within a truly inspirational example – the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.Ramsey IslandThis dramatic offshore island has cliffs up to 120 m high, the perfect place for breeding seabirds in spring and early summer.
