Things to see and do Tenby (Dinbych-Y-Pysgod)

Saundersfoot's beaches are among the most extraordinary in South Pembrokeshire, renowned for their exceptional beauty. To discover them, you can reach the village of Amroth from Tenby, by bus no. 350, then follow the coastal path to the beaches of Saundersfoot. To the west of the village, there is also Glen Beach, an ideal beach for family swimming, with restaurants nearby. Often events are organized throughout the year, the program is available on site.

The museum opened its doors in 1878. It includes the social and maritime history of Pembrokeshire as well as information on the geology and archaeology of the region. Another gallery is dedicated to the works of Augustus Jones and his sister Gwen, painters of the early 20th century. Gwen pursued her painting career in Paris where she was also Rodin's model. She painted still lifes, self-portraits, in a style influenced by Parisian avant-garde movements.

1.5 km from the coast, the island of Caldey welcomed Celtic monks in the 6th century, replaced in the 12th century by Benedictines of St. Dogmaels who founded a priory there, then it was bought by Cistercians. The few monks who live there today, known as Trappists, follow very strict rules: seven prayers a day!

On the island, you can visit the Saint-David chapel and the monastery, but above all a very old Celtic cross on which is an inscription in ogham, an old Irish alphabet from the 6th century.

In this particularly well reconstructed setting, we find ourselves in the midst of the ^15th century in the home of a wealthy merchant. Virtually intact, the Tudor Merchant's House houses three floors of Flemish fireplaces, period furniture and curios. A journey back in time! Don't hesitate to ask the very knowledgeable and competent staff. The museum is very well designed for children, with interactive games to keep them entertained! As with many museums, there's also a pretty souvenir store on site.
