Tenby and Caldey: The Walled Town and the Monks' Island

Tenby still has much of its 13th-century town walls, entered through the Five Arches barbican gate. In the old town are the Tudor Merchant's House, a late medieval house kept by the National Trust, and Tenby Museum, with work by Augustus John, born in Tenby, and his sister Gwen John, who grew up here. From the harbour, boats cross to Caldey Island, where the monks' abbey, completed in 1910, is considered the most complete Arts and Crafts building in the country, with a 6th-century ogham stone and a lighthouse of 1829.
