Comparing the culture and living conditions of small and large cities can be interesting. Wales has six cities and each one has a colourful history. What are their geographical and human characteristics? What was the reason for their development?

St Davids differs from the others in size and reason for its existence. The remains of the pilgrims and their journey to St Davids can still be seen throughout the Pembrokeshire landscape. Many others developed as ports serving the heavy industries. Ports are commonly homes for people of multiple cultures.
