St Dogmaels

The quaint riverside village of St Dogmaels is on the northern border of Pembrokeshire close to the market town of Cardigan. Its significant because the Pembrokeshire Coast Path starts or finishes here, depending on which way you’re walking it.

Nearby is the dune-backed Blue Flag beach of Poppit Sands.

There has been a settlement at St Dogmaels for a very long time but nothing remains prior to the Norman invasion. It was the Normans who established the Priory in 1113, which was subsequently upgraded to an abbey in 1120.
