Wales Grand Tour - Day 7

We went into St David to see St David, UK's smallest city.  Both the Catherdral and the Bishop's Palace are quite nice.  At the Bishop's Palace, the Cadw staff was the same one we saw in Laugharne.  There were a large tourist group at the Cathedral, we couldn't work out where they came from.

Then we checked out various gallery and shops.  I got a bag of laverbread to try, its just seaweed afterall.  I asked the shopkeeper if you just eat it with toast, she said eat with cooked breakfast.

We headed up to Fishguard for lunch at the Yacht Club Cafe,  We went for a piece of grey mullet and a spider crab sandwich.  They were nice, not quite as nice as the lobster roll from Tenby.  We saw a cruise docked at the Fishguard pier, maybe there's where the St David tourists came from?

We had a look at Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber, which really wasn't a burial chamber, it was a 4-stone henge.

Then we went to the star of the trip, the National Wool Museum.  It has nice exhibition, a workshop where the crew were working the old machine, a mechanic was repairing an old machine, and we had a chat, overall very educational interactive.  Sarah even bought a few things from the mill.

We parked up at Cardigan to have a walk around, it was already late, so we looked at Cardigan Castle, non-Cadw, "English Heritage style".  The butcher recommended eating laverbread with cheesy toast.

So when we checked into YHA Poppin Sands, we prepared our laverbread, we offered it to the reception and some fellow travellers.   Laverbread was actually very mild.
