St Davids Library

You'll find this modest library tucked away in St Davids itself, a proper little spot if you need to escape the coastal walks for an hour. It's a functional community space rather than a destination attraction - the kind of place locals pop into for their reading habit, not somewhere you'd plan a morning around. Still, it keeps limited hours (Tuesday and Thursday, 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm), so ring ahead before you bother.

It's most useful for families staying at Caerfai Bay or Lleithyr Farm who've got restless kids on a drizzly afternoon. Older visitors researching Pembrokeshire history might find something worthwhile in the local collection, though don't expect rare books or serious archives. Free admission, as these places usually are.

Honestly? You're better off spending your time on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path or visiting St Davids Cathedral down the road. The library serves the village well enough, but it won't make your holiday memorable. If you're camped at Rhosson or Pencarnan Farm nearby and the weather turns foul, it's a reasonable backup plan - give yourself 45 minutes maximum. Otherwise, keep moving. This corner of Wales has far too much proper outdoors on offer to spend precious hours in a small-town library, however friendly the staff might be.
