Location
Tenby is one of the most iconic seaside towns in Wales. The original town of Tenby was called Dinbych y Pysgod in Welsh or “little town of fishes”. It was established by The Normans as a fortified town. Most of the old town walls remain, enclosing the medieval town behind them. The castle that defended Tenby was built on Castle Hill but only one small keep tower remains of that. Inside the old town walls, narrow cobbled streets and medieval houses add to Tenby’s charm. During Georgian and Victorian times, Tenby became a popular seaside resort. The promenades on both sides of the old town on the Esplanade and the Norton both contribute to the outstanding architectural look of the town.

The centre of Tenby is a maze of narrow little streets. The roads are pedestrianised during the day in summer when the bars and restaurants set up al fresco seating. With a large variety of shops, cafes, pubs, entertainment venues, primary and secondary schools, doctors surgery, dentists, hospital. Good Bus and rail links to further afield.
