*************

Tenby (Welsh: Dinbych-y-pysgod, meaning little town of the fishes or little fortress of the fish) is a walled seaside town in Pembrokeshire, southwest Wales, on the western side of Carmarthen Bay.

Notable features of Tenby include 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of sandy beaches; the 13th century medieval town walls, including the Five Arches barbican gatehouse; the 15th century St. Mary's Church; the Tudor Merchant's House (National Trust); Tenby Museum and Art Gallery; and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, part of Wales' only coastal National Park. Boats sail from Tenby's harbour to the offshore monastic Caldey Island, while St Catherine's Island is a tidal island. The town is served by Tenby railway station.

With its strategic position on the far west coast of the British Isles, and a natural sheltered harbour from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea, Tenby was a natural settlement point.

The earliest reference to a settlement at Tenby is in ""Etmic Dinbych"", a poem probably of the 9th century, preserved in the 14th century Book of Taliesin.^[1] At this point the settlement was probably a hill fort, the mercantile nature of the settlement possibly developing under Hiberno-Norse influence.

Tenby Lifeboat Station (in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales) has operated for over 160 years,^[1] and currently has two lifeboats.

The Tamar-class lifeboat is called Haydn Miller, after the farmer who left £3m to the RNLI in his will. The inshore D-class (IB1) lifeboat is called Georgina Taylor, (the 3rd ILB donated by the legacy).^[2]
