St Asaph Cathederal

The smallest ancient Cathedral in Great Britain, founded in the year 560. It contains the Bishop William Morgan Welsh Bible of 1588.

The Cathedral has had a fascinating and often violent history. Attacks by turbulent natives and foreign invaders, destroyed by the soldiers of Henry III in 1245 and again by the armies of Edward I in 1282, substantially rebuilt between 1284 and 1381 only to be burned by Owain Glyndwr's Welsh troops in 1402. The existing building is largely 14th century with many Victorian alterations due to the remodeling by Gilbert Scott in 1867-75.

Guided tours and refreshments are available by arrangement. Free parking.
