Tenby

Tenby (Welsh: Dinbych-y-Pysgod, "fortlet of the fishes") is a town in Pembrokeshire, west Wales, lying on Carmarthen Bay. Probably originating as a Viking settlement, the town grew around the now-ruined Tenby Castle as a port, and is now a popular seaside resort.

Attractions in Tenby include the two beaches, the 13th-century town walls, the Five Arches barbican, the 15th-century St Mary's Church, the Tudor Merchant's House , a museum and art gallery, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

Boats sail from Tenby's harbour to Caldey Island, while St Catherine's Island is linked to the town at low tide.
