Free Day Walk to St Davids, Pembrokeshire, Wales (June 1st)
Wednesday 8th May 2019
Iain Tweedale
Join us on our next day walk at St Davids on Saturday June 1st.
Starting Point: 10.30am, Ty'r Pererin Education & Pilgrimage Centre, St Davids, SA62 6PD. Return at 4.30pm by bus from St Justinian.
Our 8 mile journey is organised jointly with St Davids Cathedral's Ty'r Pererin Education & Pilgrimage Centre and begins in the tiny city of St Davids founded by the patron saint of Wales in the sixth century on a promontory pushing out to sea at the furthest point of south west Wales. This foundation became a major centre of Celtic Christianity and an important place of pilgrimage. Today the lovely Cathedral of St David lies in a little valley in what is perhaps the most rural ecclesiastical setting in Britain.
This is a 'thin place' where the boundary between heaven and earth is narrow. From St Davids we walk to the coast at St Non's where St David was born - on a cliff top during a raging storm! Thereafter its magnificent sea views all the way to St Justinian.
The walk is free, simply bring a packed lunch. There will be a small charge for the bus from St Justinian's to St Davids. To book a place please go to our Eventbrite page here or contact us at info@journeying.co.uk
Accommodation:
If St Davids is too far to travel in one day and you would like to book B&B accommodation on the Friday and/or Saturday, we can offer accommodation in a cosy cottage in the former fishing village of Llangwm, with transport to and from St Davids on the Saturday. Please contact Iain Tweedale (see below) for details.
