Quite a travel to get there
In a nutshell
Perfect little Welsh seaside resort!
Myfanwe Says: Manor House Wildlife Park was taken over by well-known British TV star Anna Ryder Richardson and her family in 2008. Since then it has been transformed from a Zoo where animals were caged up to a fantastic spacious Wildlife Park where the animals have salubrious homes and...
Spincat Says: The museum is in a lovely setting on Castle Hill in part of the ruins of a C13th castle. Very well designed displays of the local geology, archaeology and social history of the area, and has activities for children. There is also an excellent art gallery with a permanent...
Myfanwe Says: The Island just off Castle Beach in Tenby is home to St Catherines Fort. This is one of the defences built in the 1860's to protect the Welsh Pembrokshire coast from the threat of French invasion. It has gun embrasures down both the northern and southern sides, with large,...
Myfanwe Says: An unknown Norman built the first Castle here. The castle dates from 1153 but the visible ruins on the cliff above the sea are from later additions. Over the years the 13th Century Town Walls took over as the main defence of Tenby. On the top of Castle Hill you can see the...
Myfanwe Says: This is a lovely area for a stroll or a picnic on a Summers day. As you walk up to the hill you'll pass St Catherines Fort on you right hand side and will have some great views of Caldey Island in the distance. There are plenty of benches in this area for you to take in your...
Myfanwe Says: The town walls encircle the medieval town of Tenby. They date back as far as 1260. In 1457 Jasper Tudor, earl of Pembrokeshire, made the walls stronger.Interestingly, the arrow slots which can be seen along the top of the town walls, used to be homes for hundreds of pigeons...
Admire the Colourful buildings
Myfanwe Says: The houses on the Esplanade overlooking the harbour in Tenby are painted all different pastel shade of blues, pinks and yellows. It looks really pretty and adds to the character of this wonderful seaside resort.
Myfanwe Says: The Tudor Merchant's House looks like a great place to visit while in Tenby. It was closed while we were there so we could only view the exterier. The property is owned by the National trust and depicts life for the Tudor Merchant and his family some 500 years ago.The House...

Myfanwe Says: This lovely little Cafe is situated right on the cliff edge giving some great views out to sea with North Beach in one direction and the beautiful Harbour area and Castle hill in the other direction. The food served here is the traditional seaside fayre such as fish and...
Buccaneer Tenby: Daily Specials Good - but slow service a la carte!
droscar Says: A busy restaurant with an outside beer garden as well. Seems very good for children with their own menu - means noisy so not for those wanting peace and quiet.Daily specials (fish pie etc..) good and promptly delivered. Anything off the main menu takes for ever - they told...
QUBE: Set Early Menu Good Value
droscar Says: A pleaant setting in Tudor Square. Attentive staff. Wide range of fish dishes and specials.Typical prices for Tenby. Good value early menu at £10/main (choice of 3 but don't change much!) and £2.50 for starter or dessert - great apple pie and homemade soup. Adequate portions...
Tasty food but not enough of it!
Myfanwe Says: While staying in Tenby for my Birthday, we decided to mark the occasion with a visit to a nearby Indian Restaurant. The Bay of Bengal is a pleasant Restaurant overlooking the Harbour in Tenby. There was a seating area downstairs with sea views and one table near to where we...
The Three Mariners: Top 'ASBO' pub
Spincat Says: I could have been horrible and put this pub under the 'warnings and dangers' section, but I like the Three Mariners, in a strange sort of way. It was once listed in a UK tabloid newspaper as one of the UK's top ASBO drinkers pubs. For those not familiar with UK terms, ASBO...
Sutekh Says: I've just returned from an excellent holiday in Tenby, and noticed that the 3 Mariners pub has quite a lot of bad press out there. I feel strongly that I should try to counter this view. I found it to be the best pub out of the many I staggered through during my stay, with a...
Caldey Island Gift Shop: You must try the Chocolate.
Myfanwe Says: A trip to Caldey Island is a must if you are Visiting Tenby in the Summer. It has a wonderul deserted beach and is the home to a Reformed Order of Cistercian monks. On the Island males can visit the Museum, take tea in the Abbots Kitchen or shop in the gift shop - sounds...
Myfanwe Says: Tenby was granted a new lifeboat station some time ago, this was constructed right next to the old one which was first established in 1852 and is a Grade II listed building so could not be demolished. As luck would have it a lucrative businessman and his Wife from Cardiff...
Valewanderer Says: They treat you poorly and then when they have given you no choice but to leave - they refuse to refund any money for the rest of the week. If you book a hotel and leave for your own reasons - this is understandable.If the hotelier is fully aware that their behaviour towards...
Bill Bryson - Notes from a small island
HORSCHECK Says: Notes from a small island by Bill Bryson tells the story of Bryson's last trip around Britain before moving back to the States after almost 20 years on the British island.The book is packed with interesting and funny stories about travelling as it really happens. By...
Spincat Says: Bosherston Lily Ponds : a flooded limestone valley managed by the National Trust. Imagine a lily pond - then imagine vast lakes of lilies crossed by simple wooden walkways. This is Bosherston.Otters and birds are plentiful, and above you the wild Welsh sky...For fishing:...
St Govan's chapel & the Stack rocks
Spincat Says: Both these landmarks are a short drive of 20 minutes or so from Tenby. They are in an area used as an army firing range, and this has helped preserve its remote feel. It is also said that the wildlife is is relatively undisturbed - presumably they don't mind gunfire!...
