La ciudad, tiene una muralla del siglo XIII, casi derruida, a la que se le hicieron mas agujeros para mejorar el transito circulatorio a principios del siglo XIX (para matarles, lo se).
Llegamos al hotel, situado en Penally, soltamos las maletas y con las mismas nos fuimos de camino a la ciudad paseando por la playa...y menuda playa!! Decir que hacia sol y alrededor de 18 grados, pero es que la brisita marina da frío!!
Descubrimos la ciudad de Tenby en una mañana, pues no es muy grande. Pero si, altamente recomendable para dar un paseo, tomar un café, comer en una terracita al lado del mar...
Como siempre fotos en la columna de la izquierda en la sección "Fotillos por estas tierras".

From Newport (on the east coast, near Cardiff) we started or trip to Tenby, about two hours driving.
Tenby is a walled seaside town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, lying on Carmarthen Bay.
Notable features of Tenby include 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) of sandy beaches, the 13th century medieval town walls including the Five Arches barbican gate, 15th-century St. Mary's Church, the Tudor Merchant's House (National Trust), a museum with art gallery, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, part of Britain's only coastal National Park. Boats sail from Tenby's harbour to the monastic Caldey Island while St Catherine's Island just offshore is linked to the town at low tide. The town is served by Tenby railway station.

After checking in at the hotel we went to discover the city walking throw the beach. Amazing!!
Tenby is an exceptionally busy UK holiday resort in the summer. The relatively unspoilt beaches and historic town walls make it a unique seaside resort. Most shops, pubs and restaurants in Tenby are specifically marketed to tourists.
