| A trail leaflet and individual leaflets for each church were scripted and
designed by members of the group and printed and financed by Menter Preseli. In 1996 the
project received a ‘Commended’ in the Schroder Tourism award. At Eastertide 1998
the ‘Shadow of the Preselis’ trail was launched, led by Bishop Huw Jones. During
Lent in 1999, supported by both Bishop Huw Jones and Bishop Ivor, a third route, ‘The
Bishop’s Road’ was begun, following the old roads from the Bishop’s Palace
at Llawhaden to St Davids. The trial leaflet for this project was financed by donations
from local people and businesses.
Pilgrimage and visits to these churches continue all through the year. All the churches
are open during daylight hours. The theme is a ministry of welcome. There is a dog bowl, a
kettle, tea, coffee, squash and sometimes biscuits laid out as a welcome of refreshment.
The churches are not ‘manned’, there are no electronic doormats but visitors are
invited to sign the visitor’s books and to appreciate the simplicity of the place and
the opportunity to enjoy its welcome of peace.
