St David

15 Day Choral Britain and Ireland 2

     This tour is an alternative to the 15 day Britain and Ireland tour, beginning in Scotland and finishing in Ireland. This one includes a day in beautiful  Pembrokeshire, South Wales, a scenic day in Scotland and visits to Bath, Glastonbury, Stonehenge and Salisbury. 

     St David's Cathedral is set in a hollow and, in our opinion,  is one of the most beautiful venues in which a choir can sing.
