Exploring Tenby and the Pembrokeshire coast

Tenby is one of Wales’s best-loved seaside towns — a medieval walled resort set above a pretty working harbour, with pastel-painted houses and three sweeping sandy beaches in the North, Castle and South shores. Boat trips run from the harbour across to the monastery on Caldey Island, and there is plenty to explore beyond the walls: the Pembrokeshire Coast Path leads towards Saundersfoot one way and the beaches of Manorbier and Barafundle the other, while Carew Castle and family days out at Folly Farm are a short drive inland.
