Things To Do In Tenby
Its medieval castle was bombarded into submission by Cromwell using artillery on both land and sea, despite this, through the passages of time Tenby has seen many changes. From the 19th century, Tenby became a fashionable holiday destination for the English and the Welsh. It has the feeling of a town whose history is much richer than most seaside resorts. This feeling is enhanced as one ambles around the narrow-cobbled streets or stops for a drink in one of the many bars or cafes. It offers not only pleasure but surprise when entering the town wall, as you are led into a labyrinth of streets peppered with both independent and chain stores.
The fifteenth century Tudor Merchants House transforms you into a life when it was a busy trading port.
