I grew up in this village in the 1960’s. My father was a Coastguard here. It is my number 1 place in the world and in stormy weather there is no place like it … sitting on the boulders watching the enormous waves crashing in. It is wild. I live in York now but still visit when I can. St Govan’s is always my first port of call. Glad you loved it too.
Its amazing how they built such a beautiful chapel, and after all these years of our blustery weather and the seas, the chapel still remains. I love how Sherpa agreed with you about him being the best you had seen. You're a handsome boy Sherpa. Thank you Jamie for sharing these videos with us. ♥️♥️
Aw thankyou too Gwen 😁
Without a doubt, Sherpiieeee is awesome ... stands alone amongst other dogs.
Ooh! My mum just told me she's visited & been inside! It really was built as a chapel, primarily for the coastal workers, such as fishermen & sailors. And, of course, the odd pirate/smuggler. Weddings in the fishing community were held there too. She also said there's some rare orchards on the cliffs that you can't walk through because they're a protected species of plant.
That is good additional information and great to know that it has been used since it was built
It was a hermit’s cell, or rather St Govan , the monk , lived in a cave on the site in the Sixth Century , the majority of the current building being erected in the 13th century .He MAY be buried under the altar. Local legend says if one counts the steps going down and back up , they won’t be the same .
To get to it the road passes through an MOD firing range and is sometimes closed.
@@beverleyevans3262 Looks like there was some shooting going on while Sherpa and Jamie was there, the red flags were hoisted.
@@beverleyevans3262 I found it Holy, but also spooky. I can certainly see where it would change you a bit.
Can't see how you would get an orchard, on the side of a cliff!
The Wow Factor! St Govans Chapel is an inspiring sight! The cliffs & sea are amazing. Nice to relax with Sherpa & enjoy the view. When the waves hit, you feel the ground move..Wow! I truly enjoyed this tail wagging adventure!👍 Thanks Jamie & Sherpa:)😊❤
It may be Saint Govans Chapel to us but to Sherpa it's one of his biscuit burial grounds
😂😂
I could probably sit there all day & listen 👂 to the waves 🌊 crash upon the shore & the Seagulls . The way Sherpy takes it all in. Thank you Jamie. 😘🥰😍🤗
The way you stopped sherpa from running to the cliff is adorable
Sherpa enhances the natural beauty of any environment...😊
Gorgeous isn't it Steve
@@SherpasDay The Chapel was built by hand which makes it both gorgeous and amazing...
That chapel is actually kinda cool! Looked bigger than I was expecting
The landscape is a perfect setting for Sherpa! He was happy, the dear boy.
What a beautiful place. I love how Sherpa has a good look around, taking everything in. And as I can't get about much anymore, it's lovely to share your adventures. Thanks Jamie and Sherpa.🙂
Hope that you are well...will keep a good thought for you! 🙂
I hear you, love. Me too. But we sure can enjoy the view from afar, eh? 💞
Definitely! 🙂
Absolutely stunning! Especially the part by the water! I would spend the whole day there sitting by the water looking into the abyss! Hope you two enjoy the rest of your day!!
So nice wasn't it
@@SherpasDay it really was!
@@SherpasDay Stunning!!!
Wow that is amazing. The legend is that Saint Govan is buried underneath the chapels alter ❤
Wow what an amazing structure. It's Bern well preserved being sheltered by the cliffs. 💙
Amazing isn't it
For a sec, I forgot I was watching Sherpa. Thought it was a travel channel. Lol. Then I saw Sherpa and was brought back to reality. Lovely how England preserves its heritage so well.
😂😂
Ahem, sorry but it’s Wales!
Govan must have a very dedicated monk to live in that limestone hermitage. Being in singularly historic setting did not deter Sherpa from sniffing peemails left thru the centuries...
Haha his peemails have no limits
Easily one of my favorite videos of all places you have visited. Absolutely beautiful coastline and unique little chapel in the most oddest of places! Thank you so much, Sherpa & Jamie, for sharing with us all. I always look forward to watching Sherpa’s Day 🤩🌎🇺🇸💚
As an introvert, that chapel is just ideal lol
I totally agree after a day of people a place like that just to recharge ...
Dad: let's go see it! C'mon Sherps!
Sherps: you are seriously kidding..... I'm not getting my fluff wet in the drizzly fog. 😣
I could happily live there btw!!
I needed this today. Struggling with a kidney stone. Sherpa makes it better💗
Oh nooo... ill send batdog to help 💙
Please, please do!!!
Sending you healing for your kidney stone to pass. Drinking Hugh amounts of water usually helps them pass quickly.
Ohhh, no ... send in doctor Sherpa to bring you the relief you need. He's so sweet and loveable, he will help you. Sending prayers for a quick & full recovery🙏🙏🙏
The scenery is amazing, and would be so fun to explore these beautiful sites. Thank you Jamie and Sherpa for allowing us to tag along.
Thanks Jamie for showing us that incredible scenery. Nothing to envy the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. What a beatiful profile shot of the sweet Sherpie !!!
We really need to visit Ireland 💙
@@SherpasDay Yes, you do🤗
@@SherpasDay The Emeral Island. That would be great and I'll be expecting it with popcorn !!
Sherpa is a lucky dog ! The entire island is his back yard.
Thank you, Jamie.
From a former builder I can see it's simplicity but also it's ingenious design and Im delighted that you did, please give Sherpa some extra treats
I can see why you would wanna just sit there what a beautiful view!
Amazing isn't it 😍
It was built in the 13th century. Supposedly his handprints are in the floor of the chapel. It was a good lookout for pirates. A bell would be rung but the pirates stole it. The angels stole the bell from the pirates and put it in a rock - Bell Rock.
Oh wow what a place to build. It is beautiful but must have been so hard to build. The view is amazing. It is hidden from the bad guys. Thank you so so much for sharing this. That is one of the best places you have shared with us. WOW thank you again.
Really camouflaged isn't it.. loved it 😍
Definitely interesting how they build structures like this and it is still up. Please Stay Safe 👋🙂❤🌹I would be worried about the water drainage from up top of the hill.
Crazy isn't it
... and there would be plenty of it!!!
Glad you set a good example by keeping Sherpa near you on the cliff. You always keep him safe.
It’s wonderful that you found that chapel. What a great spot, unbelievable that it was built there.
That coast of Wales was beautiful and I could certainly sit there all day and just take in the beauty!
I was happy that you put Sherpa on his lead so he didn’t fall.
Thank You as always for sharing your journeys! It was a fantastic start to the week!
Hugs 🐕🦺💙
Wow! I hope your tourist board appreciates how many cool places you show us subscribers from around the world! As always, I totally enjoy you guys. Cheers from Oregon, USA.
This is a wonderful part of the Welsh coastal path. We visited for many years with our parents when we grew up.. I remember Huntsman leap nearby Such a beautiful spot. So glad the weather held of for you then too
Ooh yes we wanted to see it but the were live firing so wernt allowed that way
That chapel is really something special 👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Sherpa was thinking " the amount of alter-rations to get this chapel to be used again will be huge!"
😂, but worth it 😄
You strike me as, like me, an introvert. I can literally feel your tranquility as you sat there. This was one of my most favorite videos. The beauty of the Chapel and the coastline and the peace on your and Sherpa's face simply made my entire night. I live in the mountains of North Carolina in the US and I feel that same peace. I live alone except for my furbabies and I love it. Give Sherpa kisses for me please.
I love that the immense beauty and silence seemed to reach Sherpa as well...what a great friend you have (and are in return). Thank you for sharing.
So many sniffs, so litl time 😘luv u sherpa,🌹
😂😂
Really cool the way it fills in the gap between the rocks so you have to go through it to access the beach. Sherpa will be setting up a toll booth in there - 1 chicken ball to pass through. 👍🏻
So nice isn't it 😍
Wow would love to step back in time and visit there in its prime, when it was used and functioning. Wales is full of these gems. Just beautiful.
Hope with the massive hike in petrol prices it doesn't affect your adventures too much... think we all look forward to seeing the UK through them :)
It's shocking isn't it 🙈
Ahh look at this beautiful little spot...right on the sea...wow, in the middle of the rocks this sweet chapel...
right on the water and a place to relax, look at the sea and just enjoy...😊
Simply amazing! The view over the cliffs to the open sea... LOVE IT!!🥰
This picture of a Sherpa in side view is simply adorable!❤
Sherpa and Jamie the Explorers...
See you soon buddy..💙👊
Looks amazing doesn't it buddy.. we have rain so pack waterproofs 😂
I cannot help but think of the monumental effort that took to build it!!!
@@SherpasDay will be done.. 😉
Sherpa and Jamie The Explolers 🤣😁😍😘💙
It's amazing how the chapel was built into the cliff. 🥰🐺🐾
Lord sherpa love him and he's adorable!!! Absolutely beautiful place!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
That Chapel is so very amazing
7:21 if that's facing the ocean that looks a lot like an artillery casemate - a bunker made to house a large anti-ship gun. Could have been a WWII made location.
Jamie and Sherpa, that was magnificent. One of your best. The chapel in the cliffs is wonderful - such solitude, privacy and protection from weather. The coastline, as you said, reminds one of Cornwall - but there’s something special about Wales. And Thailand might, just might, be a tad warmer?! It’s as though we’ve just this minute been in Wales with the two of you - many, many thanks for sharing this adventure with us. 💕
Me, at the prospect of inching toward the end of that cliff: No, no, NO, no, NOOO!!
Thank you, Jamie & Sherpa, for going by the edge of the cliff so we don't have to do it!
You win 🐕, the sweetest thing I have heard you say! 😍
WOW! What an amazing thing to find. Love stuff like this. Thank you for sharing.💜💜
So nice isn't it!
Stunning scenery; cool wee chapel. Thanks for sharing this with us.
That was so incredible! Thanks for taking me along. I was scared to death Sherpa was going to slip off the cliff. The chapel was amazing. Here in America we have no real concept of old. 250 years. A baby nation compared to that. You guys really build stuff to last, even under some extreme conditions. Thanks again. Sherpa you are the best boy and just as beautiful as Wales. High five from Florida.
That looks amazing Jamie, cuddle’ for fluffy lord Sherpa 🐾
😄💙
Gorgeous scenery. Of course Sherpa is the most beautiful of it all. Love to you both, safe travels always.🤗💞🤗💞
I'm so grateful to you for showing me so many places I would never get to see on my own.
...WOW!...brings back memories...over 50 yrs ago my dad worked for Gulf Oil in Pembrokeshire & used to commute on his motorbike every weekend back to Birmingham where we lived...he got tired of it so bought a 300yr old cottage just outside Haverfordwest & moved us all there!!...when i looked this up on the map i remembered the names of all the places along that beautiful coastline where my dad took us on walkabouts every weekend...such amazing places to experience as a kid!!....then he took us on the biggest adventure & bounced us across the Atlantic to Westcoast BC Canada...where i now live!!🤔😉😁💖...Sherpa & you are very lucky boys to have such wonderful places to explore!...thanx for sharing!!💖🐕🐺🐼🐈💖
Love how Sherpa is so excited to be Traveling Jamie. He needs an Adventure's Hat..
Such beautiful places. You're lucky you get to see all of those places. Thank you so much for sharing. Be safe and give Sherpa shine love from me. ❤🙏🐕
Thankyou Lela 😁
Oh wow! Sherpa! I'm so glad that you had a wonderful time in Wales!😀
I've never been to Wales! But I've always wanted to go there!😣😃
And also I did a couple of songs for your best friend Key on his 8th birthday!😀 As always I dedicated it to you! Sister Sarah, Nook & Hoomum and Hoodad!😃
So if you have the time!😀
Have a great week ahead all of you! Best wishes Terry 😃✌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👊🏻💙
Aw amazing thankyou buddy will pop over 😁, glad you're ok buddy
@@SherpasDay Aw! Thanks Jamie! Yep... Almost!!😃😂
How fascinating! I’m glad you didn’t get too close to the edge of that cliff side! Another brilliant little video of your adventures. Thanks Sherpy (and Jamie) 🐾❤️🐾 🏴
The landscape, the sea, the lack of people... paradise ❤️
Feel so blessed to see such cool places! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing adventures, Jamie and Sherpa!
You will burn calories going back up those steps! That chapel is so neat! The view is gorgeous! 🐾❤️🐾 You and Sherpa are a perfect match because you both love to explore!
Did anyone else involuntarily shout "SHERPA"!! when he was cantering on the cliff? 😁 Lovely vid and special little chapel.
I do often say "Sherp!' as he goes on rocky promontories and the like. Thanks for saying you do too!
@@bcraig7557 ...😆👍
This was truly special. I can really imagine hearing the sound of the sea and surf while I meditate and pray
I think if you hadn’t seen that beautiful Chapel on the coastline you wouldn’t believe it . How amazing. That is so awesome. What beautiful scenery. The cliffs as you look out to sea 🌊 and the coastline is spectacular
It's similar in size to the van, isn't it? Imagine it with the comforts of the van, at that location, add an outdoor kitchen...someone could live there and be happy!
the chapel I mean :)
Aww yes Sherpa is the most beautiful and makes every scenery just that much more spectacular 😋♥️.The chapel was pretty cool as well. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼 stay safe and well Sherpa & Jaime.
GM Jaime & Sherpa :) Saint Govans Chapel is amazing and beautiful, great historic site!!! Glad u both had fun!
Wow, this has to be my favorite spot so far on all your journeys!! Thanks Jamie for sharing!!& good boy Lord!! You two are so lucky!! I love you both sssooo much!!!🥰🥰🥰 xxxxoooo’s Kellie
I would love to have a home built in just such a spot like that. Secluded and quiet. Very beautiful. A peaceful place to be. I can see why a chapel is appropriate there. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
Wow how AMAZING and way COOL but those steps look slick very slippery at least SHERPA took the right way down on the grass and it was funny when you left him outside by the ocean to take another look inside the church and he came running in to see if you left him there … We all know you would NEVER leave your buddy anywhere he shouldn’t be….🐾🐾🥰💙❤️💕❤️🩹😎🤩
That view was even more amazing once the sun really brightened. But, yes. Sherpa was the most beautiful thing there. 😊🐕💗💗💗 Oh! And that chapel and the whole area looks like something straight out of Harry Potter! 💕
Wow!! What a beautiful place. Thank you Jamie for sharing. 👍
This is amazing😲😲😲 What a great piece of history. Spectacular ocean view♥️
What a beautiful place to find, but your right! No place is as Beautiful as Sherpa 😍❤️
I agree, the chapel and big bits of rock washed apart, and the part that trembled when the waves hit, and the broad beautiful views were indeed stunning. But the best part by far of any views you've had so far, has always been and will always be, dear sweet Sherpie.
I had my heart in my throat for the whole time Sherpa was just wandering around the cliff tops.
Big risk. Lucky he's a good ol' dog, eh?
WOW thank you so much for taking me along this is just amazing ❤🥰❤
Thankyou for joining us 😄
Wow that’s amazing. You wouldn’t believe it unless you have seen it. Thank you Jamie for sharing this beautiful scenery
Such a wonderful place! I couldn't help but think it'd be a beautiful place as a seasonal home for Sherpa & Jamie! Thank you for taking us on all your adventures!!! Much Love & Many Blessings 💜
Sherpa and his dad they don’t let weather ruin their day they leave early in the morning be back home in the afternoon Sherpa takes his afternoon naps
This will be a very niche reference, but did anyone else feel like Jamie was in first-person POV playing Skyrim as he was making his way down the slope to the chapel…? (That serves as both a testament to how incredible the graphics are for that game as well as the beauty and scenery he and Sherpa get to show us each week. 🐶👍🏻)
Wow that is so cool and beautiful!
Gorgeous isn't it 😍
Absolutely stunning, that would be a sight to see. Thank you for bringing us along with you both.
Amazing and beautifully mysterious - kept wondering how that chapel was crafted in such a precarious place! Those very steep steps down into it worried me for both yours and Sherpa’s safety! But those amazing cliffs and breakaway bits were truly causing me vertigo overload. Too many butterflies in the tummy! Wales is fascinating in its rugged beauty. Thank you once again, Jamie and Sherpa for an awesome excursion! 🌊🪨💙🐾🐾🐾🥾🥾🌊💙
That is one amazing place. It sure is a mystery of why it would have been built there. Just gorgeous. But I agree Sherpa is the winner. He is the most gorgeous. Love him. Thanks for sharing Jamie. Love these videos. Have a great evening. 👍🏻🥰😍❤️🤗
Ooo weee, I am so glad no one looked out from the top of that wall when you stuck your camera through the opening.😬
Beautiful and calm, peaceful. Enjoy Sherpie and Jamie. 😊💝
Thank goodness for all those doors. I was starting to feel claustraphobic. 😬
WOW! Awesome find! Sherpa is soooo lucky to have you as her owner!
Jamie... I love your videos.
You combine travel tips with pet tips, and how a person can travel light, economically, and comfortably, with their beloved pets.
Cheers mate!!!!
What a cool place to visit
Amazing 😁
Gorgeous coastline, looks better in the background with Sherpa's cute profile in frame😊
The ocean is a powerful force. Good thing Sherpa was quiet, his howl might start a rock slide.😁
Wonder if the chapel was always a chapel, and not a way station, or look out. Interesting location for it though.
You are correct though,,and the fact that building has survived,,regardless of what it was intended for. That coastline is gorgeous. There are places on earth,,handmade and natural,,,you just have to sit and stare. For me ,,it was the Taj Mahal and the nearby Teton mountain range,,just south of Yellowstone park. I have spent probably weeks worth of time staring at Le Tou Tetons,,literally the three teats. The mountain men that named them were horny old buggers. I lived just outside Teton park for several years,,and I never came close to being tired of looking. Would be brilliant,,as you say,,if you could bring the van and Sherpa for an explore !
I just kept saying "WOW!", pretty much the whole way through.. I love that chapel! My thought was it was possibly used to bless the sailors before leaving or for memorial services for those lost at sea.. soooooo beautiful! Love, BIG HUGS and greetings from Pennsylvania, U.S.A. 😊💗💗💗🐾🐾🐾🥰🥰🥰
Wow so cool guy's‼️Nice work finding it.
Thankyou Thelma 😁
What a stunning video. That hidden chapel was absolutely amazing.
The coastal walk was truly beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your adventure to Wales.
Truly breathtaking. Xxxx
Hi Jamie and Sherpa. One of my favourite places to visit when in Tenby. If you are ever in north wales please visit The Holy Well and Chapel of St Trillo, Rhos on sea. It only holds 6 people inside.
The Welsh name is Llandrillo Yn Rhos. It's named after St Trillo. Rhos on sea was concocted for the tourist industry. There is no V in Welsh orthography BTW, so I believe its St Gofan.
Hi Jamie and Sherpa👋👋👋 What an incredible and beautiful site, I loved this, can you imagine sitting thru a sermon there, that’s so cool. TYFS, I appreciate it very much, I hope you guys have a blessed week♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️🐾🐾
When I watch you and Sherpa taking your walks, they remind me and make me miss where my husband and kids use to live from 1984-2004. Our property was several acres, which included 3 miles of woods where I would walk when my husband got off work and watched the kids, all 4 boys(5 boys when I would include my husband sometimes😊). For 3 years every evening when I would step outside for a while, the same coyote would come out of the woods and climb onto the boulder and just sit watching me. My husband did not want me to leave the patio while the coyote was sitting there, but I started going to the side yard off the patio and every few days I would move slowly closer until, to my husband’s discomfort, I was sitting at least 5 feet from the coyote and we would just watch each other . I was never afraid, not even when “my buddy” the coyote would raise it’s head and howl and then lay down on the boulder. The few times I was running late to be outside, the coyote would howl until I came outside also. The veterinarian saw the picture of me and “my buddy” that my husband took one time, and the vet verified that it was a coyote but also looked at me fearfully for sitting that close, but I told the vet that “my buddy” is more trustworthy and safer than most human beings.
