Tenby

From Welshpedia

Tenby (Welsh: Dinbych-y-Pysgod, "fortlet of the fishes") is a town in Pembrokeshire, 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.

Gwilym Lloyd George, was made 1st Viscount Tenby in 1957.
