St Govan's Chapel

A tiny hermit’s cell built into the cliff at St Govan’s, near Bosherston, South Pembrokeshire. Count the steps down and up again - legend has it that the number is never the same!

Saint Govan (Welsh: Gofan) (died 586) was a hermit who lived in a fissure on the side of coastal cliff near Bosherston, in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Wales. Saint Govan's Chapel was built in the fissure in the 14th century on what is now known as Saint Govan's Head.
