About St Davids
The smallest city in Britain, built around the cathedral of Wales’ patron saint on the Pembrokeshire coast. At 5.27° west it is the most westerly city in Wales, so the sun sets here later than anywhere else in the country, around eight minutes after Newport.
Like everywhere else in Wales, St Davids keeps Greenwich Mean Time from late October to late March and British Summer Time for the rest of the year. There is no local time variation anywhere in the country, but daylight is a different matter. At the June solstice St Davids receives roughly 5 minutes more daylight than Cardiff, a consequence of sitting further north.
Across the year the swing here is considerable: from 7h 46m of daylight around the winter solstice to 16h 43m at midsummer, a difference of more than 8 hours.
