Tony Kitchell Art Gallery

The Tony Kitchell Art Gallery sits quietly in St Davids, a proper working space rather than some grand institution. It's the sort of place you stumble upon while wandering the cathedral city's narrow streets, and it rewards the detour with genuine contemporary art from Welsh and visiting artists. The gallery rotates its exhibitions regularly, so what's on the walls shifts throughout the year - worth checking before you visit if you've got specific interests.

This is somewhere for people who actually like art, not just Instagram backdrops. You won't spend hours here - most visitors give it 30 to 45 minutes - but the work tends to be thoughtful and the space feels intimate rather than intimidating. It's free to pop in and have a look, which is always a bonus when you're holiday budgeting.

Staying at Pembrokeshire Meadows Camping puts you just a tenth of a mile away, making it easy to call in before or after exploring St Davids Cathedral or heading out on the coastal paths. If you're after a quieter cultural break between beach days and walks, this fits the bill. The surrounding area is packed with holiday parks if you're planning a longer stay - Caerfai Bay and Lleithyr Farm are both within walking distance if you fancy something less central. It's not the sort of place to build a day around, but as part of a Pembrokeshire trip, it's worth an hour of your time.
