Tenby is one of those places that feels instantly recognisable, with its colourful buildings, sandy beaches and historic harbour all packed into a relatively small stretch of coastline. I’ve visited Pembrokeshire several times and Tenby is always a place that stands out, particularly when viewed from across the water.

From this perspective, the character of the town really comes together. The rows of colourful buildings sit above the harbour, with the old town walls and church rising behind them and the coastline stretching away on either side. The contrast between the warm tones of the buildings and the blue of the sea gives the scene a distinctive look that is difficult to mistake for anywhere else.

What I like most about this view is how much there is to take in without it feeling overwhelming. The harbour gives the foreground some depth while the town creates a natural focal point, with the beaches and headlands continuing out towards the horizon. It’s a view that captures a lot of what makes Tenby one of the most recognisable coastal towns in Wales.
