Exploring Britain's smallest city
https://www.visitwales.com/destinations/west-wales/pembrokeshire/St-Davids
It's set in a particularly idyllic setting, in the UK's smallest city (which if it didn't have a cathedral and a bishop we'd normally call a small town or largeish village) on a peninsula in Pembrokeshire on Wales's southwestern Irish Sea coast. There are train stations not far from it in Tenby, Haverfordwest and Fishguard.
The ruin to the left of the picture is the medieval Bishop's Palace, which you can explore for an entrance fee. The cathedral itself is in excellent repair and features fine ceilings and all the usual architecture you'd expect.
If you wanted to extend your remit to abbey ruins, you could take in the famous Tintern Abbey near Chepstow as a detour on your way. The ruins of the abbey at Strata Florida have always been an enjoyable visit somewhat off the beaten path. Both would no doubt easier to get to via car hire, but you may be able to find some tours that take these sites in.
