Tenby, Medieval coastal town in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Tenby features three miles of sandy beaches, a harbor, and thirteenth-century stone walls enclosing narrow streets with colorful Georgian houses.
The Normans established control of Tenby in the early twelfth century, transforming it from a fishing village into a fortified seaport with defensive walls.
The Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, established in 1878, holds the distinction of being the oldest independent museum in Wales, displaying regional artifacts.
Visitors can access Caldey Island through regular boat services from Tenby Harbor during summer weekdays and Saturdays for exploration and nature walks.
The Tudor Merchant's House preserves the authentic layout and furnishings of a wealthy sixteenth-century trading family's residence in the heart of Tenby.

Wales features a region with three national parks, including Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire coast park, as well as fortresses like Conwy and Caernarfon castles built by Edward I in the 13th century, and religious buildings such as St. David's Cathedral. The coastline alternates between red sandstone cliffs, sandy beaches, and islands like Anglesey, while the inland reveals mountains, lakes, and valleys such as the Elan Valley with its historic dams. Welsh towns preserve their architectural heritage, with Cardiff as the capital. The Gower Peninsula offers limestone cliffs and sea caves, Tintern Abbey has been a Cistercian monastery since 1131, and Powis Castle features terraced gardens. Former mining regions and botanical sites reflect the country's industrial and cultural evolution.
