Top Things to do in Tenby
What to do and see in Tenby, Wales: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Tenby is lovingly protected from the outside world by an embrace of 13th-century stone walls, which, ironically, attract—not repel—visitors from all over the world. The town is simply adorable, teeming with the archetypes of pubs and shops one would expect to find in a U.K. city. Adding further appeal are the miles of gorgeous beaches and the gently lapping waves of a blue-grey sea.

We visit Tenby often and had never, despite knowing about the house, had actually visited. We were caught out for activities on a rainy day and decided to stop in. With reasonable entrance fee it was a delightful and interesting little pass time, my girls despite being older quite enjoyed reading the little informative facts around the house, dressing up and completing a sweet little doll hunt set out around the house. The building is small and doesn’t require to long to fully explore and enjoy all three floors. with very friendly staff I do recommend a visit if your in the area.

Having been here before we visited again to take my father in law aged 81. They were closed for winter when we got there but one of the volunteers was there and he opened everything up for us and showed us round. My father in law absolutely loved it and the knowledge and passion of the gentleman showing us around was second to none. They need funding to improve their facilities and I really hope they get it as it's a brilliant historically important site which needs to be treasured.

St Catherine's island is home to a Palmerston fort and a WW2 Anti aircraft gun placement. Visitors the island are welcome. For opening times search Saint Catherine's Island on facebook it is the best place due to tides and weather.

This island has recently been re-opened to the public. Viewing hours are tide dependent, and although the fort is in its early stages of renovation, it is well worth a visit. There is a very good tour guide in the fort with a sit down 30 minute presentation on the history of the fort. Reminds me of the needles battery on the Isle of Wight.

Bright and airy with amazing ceiling bosses, interesting monuments and a real sense the building is loved, cared for and revered whilst being used for more than just prayer and worship - it really plays its part in the life of the community. Well wortha visit to enjoy the architecture, to rest and reflect or to pray.

Reviewed By grahamc894 - Dunton Green, United Kingdom
This is the typical quintessential tourist resort harbour with small fishing boats and rowing boats but with much more. The area is well - kept, surrounded with pastoral coloured buildings narrow streets and good food and drink outlets. Recommend Simply Seafood for a taste of Tenby and the Cardey / St Margaret Island cruise. Entrance to the Castle and South Beach nearby.

Just a small castle tower on the top of a hill on the edge of Tenby. The place offers beautiful views of the fortress and the surrounding beaches. Worth a visit.
