It is well worth a day exploring the delights of the South Manorbier, it is a stunning beach with 3 chimney stacks of rock in the cliffs. Have a trip down and see if you can find them! With the tide out it is the most photographed beach in the west. Overlooking the beach is the magnificent Manorbier Castle.

Tenby has stretches of golden sand along its 5 Blue Flag beaches as well as a picturesque harbour from which boat trips sail to Caldey Island. Tenby and it's beaches get incredibly busy in the summer.

My favourite castles
The magnificent medieval Castle (birthplace of Henry VII) with its mill pond and moat, hosts regular events such as historic enactments, falconry displays and music festivals. Opposite the Castle, across the moat, is the Cornstore, a furniture and gift store with a small cafe.
(please ignore automated image that airbnb provide - it's terrible!)
