St. Govan's Chapel near Pembroke

Built into the side of a limestone cliff, the chapel is tiny (7 x 4 metres).

Mainly built in the thirteenth century, but parts of it may date back to the sixth century when Saint Govan, a monk moved into a cave located on the site of the chapel.

Legend suggests that Saint Govan is buried underneath the chapel's altar.

Accessible from the cliff top by climbing down a set of 52 stairs, but legend is that when counted, the number of steps differs between going down and going back up.

The building is in MOD's Castlemartin East Firing Range. Occasionally access to the building is limited when the range is in use.
