Holiday Summary
- Travel Type: Coach
Tenby is a uniquely attractive resort. Its pastel coloured buildings, narrow streets, fortified walls and the quality of the light from its shimmering bays give it an atmosphere which is reminiscent of the Mediterranean. Its medieval castle was bombarded into submission by Cromwell using artillery on both land and sea and the feeling of a town whose history is much richer than most seaside resorts is very strong as one ambles around the narrow streets or stops for a drink in one of the many bars or cafés. The fifteenth century Tudor Merchants House gives an insight into life when it was a busy trading port. Tenby has four magnificent sandy beaches and a delightful harbour which is always busy with pleasure craft and the regular ferries which serve nearby Caldey Island monastery, a "must" to explore during your stay.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.

One of the most picturesque, preserved railways in the country, the Gwili Railway follows the meandering route of the Gwili Railway on its uphill journey through farmlands and wooded hillsides. Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, they play a big part in recreating the golden age of steam on this nostalgic journey. We also visit Carmarthen – one of the oldest towns in Wales. /n
