## Getting around by taxi
St Davids (Welsh: Tyddewi) is Britain's smallest city — a 2,000-person community on the St Davids Peninsula, 16 miles west of Haverfordwest. No train service; the nearest station is Haverfordwest (16 miles). Local cab firms provide peninsula transfers. Haverfordwest Taxis covers pre-booked runs to/from the city. For day-trippers, parking in St Davids is paid and fills rapidly in summer — arriving by the Puffin Shuttle coastal bus (seasonal) and pre-booking a cab return avoids the worst of August car park queues.
