Description
The Tenby Town Walls are a Grade I listed structure featuring six towers and one large semicircular town gate. Constructed from rubble stone, the walls include arrow loops and a crenellated parapet. The walls extend for a short length along White Lion Street, leading to a circular bastion at the corner of South Parade. The main long section runs down to the sea and includes various towers: a semi-circular bastion located halfway along South Parade, the Five Arches gateway opposite the former Roman Catholic convent, another semi-circular bastion situated opposite the garage at the southern end of South Parade (with its interior infilled by Tower Cottage on Lower Frog Street), a square tower on St Florence Parade that backs onto the garden of No 4 Frogmore Terrace, a semi-circular bastion that was built up in the 19th century as a round tower on the western end of the Imperial Hotel, and finally, a small battered square tower perched on the cliff edge.
