The medieval walled town of Tenby makes an ideal holiday destination at any time of year, for as the renowned artist Augustus John once said:

          " You may travel the world over but you will find nothing more beautiful; it is so restful, so colourful and so unspoilt. "

         The bustling town which lies within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park has many bars, cafes and restaurants as well as a wide variety of interesting shops. Its narrow streets which are lined with Georgian and Victorian colour-washed buildings lead to a picturesque harbour protected by Castle Hill and St. Catherine's Island.

         Tenby's Welsh name 'Dinbych-y-Pysgod' means 'Little fort of the fishes' and it is here, from the headland where the first defenses were built, that there is a lovely view of the town with St. Mary's Church at its heart and of the four golden sandy beaches which surround its shores. These beaches, very different in nature, provide clean, safe bathing.

         Off shore lies the monastic island of Caldey, which is well worth a visit.
