The Cathedrals and Ruins
Beyond castles and manors, another vital aspect of Welsh history are the cathedrals and ruins. Although many of these structures have deteriorated over time, it only adds to their intrigue and lure.

For example, the charming city of Tenby, a picturesque seaside town with breathtaking views, unique shops and restaurants. Beyond the seascape vistas, Tenby offers visitors interactive and exciting experiences. For instance, a famously fully-realized recreation of a Tudor Merchant house.
