Tenby
Tenby is a walled seaside town in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on the western side of Carmarthen Bay. Tenby is a city government community. Remarkable attributes include 2 1/2 miles (4.0 kilometres) of sandy beaches and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the 13th century medieval community wall surfaces, consisting of the Five Arches barbican lodge, Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, the 15th century St. Mary's Church, and the National Trust's Tudor Merchant's House. The town is offered by Tenby train station. Boats sail from Tenby's harbour to the offshore reclusive Caldey Island. St Catherine's Island is tidal and also has a 19th century Palmerston Fort. With its strategic setting on the much west coast of Britain, as well as a natural protected harbour from both the Atlantic Sea as well as the Irish Sea, Tenby was a natural settlement point, possibly a hill fort with the mercantile nature of the negotiation potentially creating under Hiberno-Norse influence. The earliest recommendation to a settlement at Tenby remains in "Etmic Dinbych", a poem probably from the 9th century, protected in the 14th century Book of Taliesin.
