Tenby Town Walls, Medieval city walls in Tenby, United Kingdom.
The fortification extends along White Lion Street and South Parade, featuring six remaining towers constructed from local rubble stone with arrow loops.
William de Valence rebuilt these defensive structures after an attack by Llewelyn ap Gruffydd in 1260, establishing four gates to control access.
The Five Arches Gate stands as the last complete entrance point, demonstrating the medieval engineering methods used to protect coastal settlements.
Visitors can access different sections of the walls from South Parade, where multiple parking areas provide convenient starting points for exploration.
The walls contain a commemorative tablet from 1457 recording Jasper Tudor's order to increase their height by five feet and widen the moat.
