after we left St. David’s Cathedral in the morning, we walked over to the mediaval bishop’s palace  ruins next door. it had started to get a bit busy over at the cathedral, but not so many folks at the ruins.

it was impressive, and we had a good time tromping all around the place.

there were plenty of narrow stairs to climb up and down, and this cellar was freezing on a hot day.

here’s the link to the official website; there’s not a huge amount of information, but it’s interesting that it says this grand pile is a testament to the incredible wealth of medieval men of religion.

we said we were glad for a day off of walking, but after about an hour, we decided to head back to the coast path one last time…it’s hard to believe that it went so quickly, such a short time of walking!

but even though our official hike was over, there was still a fair amount of walking in store for us…

ok then,
