In August 1998 I stayed a few days in Tenby and explored the beauties of Pembrokeshire in the south eastern corner of Wales.
Tenby is a popular seaside resort with 4 beaches and a magnificent view of the bay. The picturesque old town with its narrow medieval streets and old Georgian houses is a great place to wander. Many historic buildings are worth seeing, among them is St. Mary's church and the town gate Five Arches.
Tenby can be used as a base for trips to other nice places in Pembrokeshire, such as Manobier, Saundersfoot, Pembroke or Milford Haven.

- Pros:Beautiful coastline with magnificent scenery.
- Cons:Overrun by day trippers on hot summer days
- In a nutshell:Perfect base to explore Pembrokeshire.

Nice out of the way place, or so it seems...LOL
Excellent!! I am daydreaming about attending Tom81's marriage in Tenby. You've given me a wonderful sense of the place...quite compelling.
Tenby is a lovely place, i really have to go back when the weather is better.
Brilliant tips and photos about Tenby! I certainly hope to visit Wales someday. Thanks for the short lesson in the Welsh language.
Thanks for the happy memories of my childhood holidays in Pembrokeshire :-) Manobier, Pembroke Castle, and of course that wonderful coastline!
Very charming place this Tenby is. I too love the fish and chips.
What a lovely beach, North Beach. I am always attracted to the ocean.
I wrote the Snowdonia page when I was very, very sad: it made me a bit poetic about a past life. I loved living there....hope you manage to visit one day. Superb place. J
Just realised. Loved Vilnius though. Super city to visit.
I have yet to discover Wales but I see Tenby has things I would enjoy like the coastal paths & glorious beaches :) Nice virtual tour!!
