Tower Gatehouse & Bell Tower above St David's Cathedral
Address: St Davids Cathedral, St Davids Haverfordwest, Wales SA62 6RD
45 Min Car Journey (28.3 miles)
The 15 foot high wall that was built in the 14th century to enclose the original cathedral city, was pierced by four gatehouses. The Tower Gatehouse is the only survivor and was used by the medieval town council. It stands above St David's cathedral just off the main square of St David's in the Southwest corner of Pembrokeshire.
Also housed in the Tower Gate House is the lapidarium (where there is a display of religious stones) and below is the bishop’s dungeon.
Next to the gatehouse stands the 13th century Bell Tower which now has a Royal ring of ten bells.
