Description
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. Tenby has a delightful harbour and four magnificent beaches. Nearby is Caldey Island monastery, a "must" to explore during your stay.
Itinerary
XCURSIONS INCLUDED
Full Day Excursion to Fishguard
We travel first to Llys-y-fran, a huge reservoir and country park with an interesting exhibition. Continuing on to the port of Fishguard, scene of the surrender of the last invaders of Britain - a French expeditionary force in 1797.
Full Day Excursion to Laugharne and Carmarthen
Laugharne (pronounced Larne) is the former home of the poet Dylan Thomas, immortalised in his work "Under Milk Wood", but it is interesting in itself as an ancient town with a Welsh castle and quaint winding streets.
