Saint Govan's Chapel

Saint Govan’s Chapel is located in beautiful Pembrokeshire, United Kingdom. It is a breathtakingly beautiful 6th century chapel built into a limestone cliff face, believed to be the burial site of Saint Govan. Set just a few meters from the shoreline, the chapel stands perched upon a narrow ledge with a wedge-shaped stone entrance. It is accessible by boat or by a long winding footpath. You can enjoy a breathtaking view of the rugged coastline, turquoise waters, and nearby islands. Inside, a simple chamber awaits with several carvings upon the walls. It is believed that the chapel was used by Celtic Saints as their hermitage and the location was once a significant site of pilgrimage. It is truly a remarkable sight and a highlight of a visit to Pembrokeshire.
