St Asaph is one of the smallest cities in the United Kingdom, built around one of the smallest cathedrals — and both facts are genuine, not just a line on a visitor sign.
A cathedral community founded in the 6th century
A religious community was founded here around AD 560 by the Scottish saint Kentigern, who left his disciple Asaph in charge when he returned north. The cathedral that grew from it, rebuilt in the 13th century after being burnt by Edward I's troops and damaged again by Owain Glyndŵr's forces in 1402, is reputed to be the smallest ancient cathedral in Britain at just 182 feet long.
Britain's newest, and second-smallest, city
St Asaph was granted official city status by Queen Elizabeth II in 2012 as part of her Diamond Jubilee honours. At the 2021 census its population was 3,485, making it the second-smallest city in the United Kingdom — smaller than many English villages, but a city all the same.
