Ramsey Island and Grassholm Island National Nature Reserves are owned and managed by conservation charity the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (rspb). Ramsey's cliffs are perfect for breeding seabirds in spring and summer. Choughs, peregrines and ravens also nest on the sea cliffs and in the island's sea-caves. From May to Sept, bluebells, pink thrift and spring squill carpet the island followed by heather in late summer. In the Autumn grey seals breed and they can be seen on the beaches with their white-coated pups from mid August until October. Spectacular Grassholm Island supports 36,000 pairs of breeding gannets and is the only gannet colony in Wales. The island is a sanctuary reserve with a strict 'no-landing policy, but boat trips circumnavigate the island during the summer months.

An exciting 'Crystal maze' style puzzle solving activity suitable for families, kids and adult groups. Now with both an indoor Escape Room and an outdoor 'Low Ropes Escape', you can give escaping a go in rain or shine! The indoor Escape Room is themed around the beautiful St. Davids area - you'll have to work together solving puzzles and games, finding keys and codes and unlocking padlocks in order to escape within the hour! The low-ropes escape course is the first of its kind! Instead of unlocking doors, you’ll be releasing drawbridges, planks and tyres that allow access to new parts of the course. The obstacles are suitable for all ages and abilities; it’s the puzzles that are the real test!

Magnificent medieval palace that rivalled its cathedral for glory There was only one top job for an ambitious cleric in medieval Wales: Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire. A 12th-century pope had decreed that two trips to St Davids were equal to one to Rome – turning it into a centre of pilgrimage for the entire Western world. Thousands flocked to see the shrine of St David in the newly built cathedral. But the bishop’s home was no match for this magnificence. Enter Henry de Gower. Between 1328 and 1347 he turned a building only fit for ‘servants and animals’ into an immense palace. The displayed opening times are our general pattern.
