2. St. Catherine's Island, Tenby
St Catherine’s Island (Welsh: Ynys Catrin) is a small tidal island linked to Tenby in Pembrokeshire, Wales, by Castle beach at low tide. The island, which is known colloquially as St Catherine’s Rock, is the location of St Catherine’s Fort.
For many centuries a tiny church was the only building on the island. The construction of St Catherine’s Fort in 1867 necessitated the demolishing of the remains of the church.

3. Pembroke Castle
One of the most magnificent of Britain’s castles is the “birth place of the Tudor Dynasty.” You can climb the 80ft Great Keep, descend into a pre-historic cave and look down into a prisoner in a medieval dungeon. There is also a cafe and gift shop. During school holidays there are falconry displays, historic re-enactments and family entertainment. The main exhibition rooms display models and weaponry as well as telling the story of the history of the castle. You can also visit the room that King Henry VII the founder of the Tudor Dynasty was born.
