St Govan's Chapel

A hermit's chapel wedged into the sea cliff — count the steps down and up; the totals famously never match.

Why this one might suit you

It sits at the start or finish of one of our walks, and Broad Haven South is within a mile.

Assembled from what we can evidence — hygiene ratings, measured distances and the venue's own listed details — not from a visit. We haven't eaten here, and we don't pretend to have.
