On March 1^st all of Wales will be celebrating a day dedicated to the patron Saint of Wales.

Saint David was born in Wales in 520AD, reputedly on the cliff top Near Capel Non, on the south west coast of Wales. He grew up to be a priest and then becoming a missionary traveling throughout Wales and Britain and according to legend performed several mirracles during his life, until he died March 1^st 589 AD. It’s also said that he is the person responsible for the leak being one of the national emblems of Wales and in medieval times it’s believed that he was the nephew of the legendary King Arthur. Celebrated since the 12 century, St Davids Day is a great time to visit Arbennig and enjoy this special day and some of the great events in North Wales on March 1^st. As part of the celebrations the Welsh Heritage Society has announced that all castles and historical buildings will be free of charge if you register on-line before Saint David’s Day.
