St Govan's Chapel is a small, atmospheric chapel nestled in the cliffs near Bosherston in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Believed to date back to the 13th century, the chapel is built into the limestone cliffs and is named after St Govan, a hermit who, according to legend, lived in a cave at the site during the 6th century. The chapel is accessible via a steep flight of stone steps and offers stunning views of the surrounding coastline. Inside, the chapel is simple and austere, reflecting its historical use as a place of solitude and reflection.
