Tenby Attractions
Tenby / Dinbych y Pysgod (pop. 5,220), still with its old town walls, lies on a rocky peninsula at the western end of Carmarthen Bay. This seaside resort, prized at the turn of the century by the artist Augustus John as being "so restful, so colorful and so unspoiled" has a picturesque harbor, around which attractive pastel-colored houses are grouped, two beautiful sandy beaches, charming narrow alleys, the 15th century carefully restored Tudor Merchant's House and St Mary's Church, the largest parish church in Wales.
Caldey Island
A very popular outing from Tenby is a boat trip to Caldey, a beautiful island (2.5mi/4km south), which has belonged to Cistercian monks since 1929. The first abbey on this site was founded in 1113, and parts of the 14th and 15th century buildings remain.
Tenby Museum and Art Gallery

Tudor Merchant's House
The Tudor Merchant's House is a National Trust property located in Tenby. It dates back to the late 15th C, when Tenby was a bustling port. The small herb garden, measuring just ten foot by thirty foot, is packed with over 60 different types of herb, many of which would have been used in cooking and medicine more than 400 years ago.
