Great place to start a walk on the coast to Saundersfoot. Walking shoes or boots required in winter / Spring as lots of muddy section involved

Penally is just a short hop from the popular seaside resort of Tenby and gives access to some glorious coastline. Nearby Giltar Point is particularly scenic, with views out to Caldey Island and even to the distant island of Lundy on clear days. Penally's limestone cliffs are home to razorbills, fulmars and various species of gull – a real treat for birders.

Tenby is a coastal town in the county of Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is located on Carmarthen Bay. The town's old castle walls have been preserved, as has Victorian revival architecture in a pastel color scheme. (Wikipedia)
