Tenby (Dinbych-y-Pysgod), Dyfed: The Welsh name, Denbigh of the fish, indicates that Tenby started as a fishing centre. Now there are Regency houses and hotels along the cliff top, a riuned castle and a harbour, all within medieval walls lapped by golden sands. The Welsh were driven out by the Anglo-Normans and their Flemish mercenarieswho turned southern Pembrokehire into a little England beyond Wales. The castle stood on the small headland guarding the harbour. It was destroyed in the Civil war and the ruins now house on of the smallest museums in Britain.
Thanks Andy (Duplevista) for the beautiful cards! :D
