The Tenby Museum & Art Gallery stands on the site & remains of a Medieval Norman Castle, The Museum looks down on stunning coastal scenery, beaches, Lifeboat Stations & a Napoleonic Fortress.
There is an impressive Mural Mosaic featured on the West side of the Museum featuring the remains of the Tenby Castle Watchtower.
The Mosaic is over 30 feet long & approximately 10 feet tall. The focus of the Mosaic is the Tenby Castle Ruin, standing on Castle Hill, displayed against a background of blue Sky, & a few Sea Gulls with the waves below.
Along the upper portion of the Mosaic are poems & quotes by famous Welshmen, including text from Under Milk Wood by the Worlds greatest poet, Dylan Thomas.
The Castle grounds & footpaths are public land and freely accessible all year round, but I would recommend Dawn to Dusk, as there is no street lighting, on Castle Hill.
