Puffins, Tenby

Tenby, the bustling beach town known as “The Jewel in the Crown” in Wales, is majestically situated on the spectacularly gorgeous ‘Welsh Riviera.’ Tenby is part of the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, where the Gulf Stream warms the water and the county is one of the sunniest in the United Kingdom. This lovely town is surrounded by mediaeval walls and has a maze of cobblestone alleys with a variety of unique stores, an indoor locally sourced food market, tea rooms, and delicious eateries. Almost three miles of stunning, Blue Flag-awarded beaches provide a variety of watersports, whilst walkers and cyclists can enjoy the local flora and fauna on the coastal paths, something the competitors of the world-renowned Tenby Iron-Man contest (held in mid-September) haven’t time for! A boat excursion to Caldey Island is recommended to appreciate the monastery’s beauty and tranquilly, as well as seal and puffin sightings along the way! Visit the majestic Tudor Merchant’s House or Saundersfoot or Manobier, two adjacent resorts. Oakwood Theme Park is a fantastic, fun-filled day out for teens and younger guests, while Folly Farm has everything from old-fashioned carnival attractions to local and exotic animals! The ideal spot for a fun and varied holiday.
