Tenby

Tenby, a municipal borough and watering-place of South Wales, is in Pembrokeshire on the W, side of Carmarthen Bay, 9-1/2 miles E. of Pembroke, and 276 miles W. of London. It is on a headland, beneath which are smooth sands affording an excellent bathing-ground. There is a 13th-century church, with a spire 152 feet high, a fort, and a statue of the late Prince Consort. The ancient walls were strengthened by Queen Elizabeth, and part of the old castle is left. Tenby shares a member of Parliament with Pembroke and some other towns.
