Tenby, Pembrokeshire - 20th-27th Aug 2010 (Part1)

Tenby in Pembrokeshire is probably our favourite holiday destination in the British Isles, though there are still many places to experience.  There is lots to do with children and the beaches are quite clean.  This has been a regular holiday destination for us since long before our children were born.  In fact both Lisa and I had been to Tenby as children, Lisa many times.  This year I took so many photos I thought I would break it down into several posts.

St. Catherine's Rock
The site of a disused fort which used to be open to the public as late as the 1990s but has been sealed off for health and safety reasons. It is officially known as St. Catherine's Island.

Tenby was a walled town and there are arches at various stages along the wall.
These ones are called the Five Arches.  It was formerly the south-west gate into the town.

Manobier, Pembrokeshire - 23rd Aug 2010

A short trip to Manorbier in Pembrokeshire as part of our almost yearly holiday in Tenby.

 The Castle at Manobier is a ruin but is worth a look.  On this occasion we did not go to the castle because we had already visted it a few years before.


 It was a cold day so we didn't stay very long this year.

 Our old car, a Vauxhall Astra estate with Manobier church in the background.

This is a church I wanted to see close up but this year did not get the chance.
