We never tire of the different views of St Catherine's Fort. Although originally built to protect the coast line from a possible invasion by the French, it was never actually used for this purpose.
In the early twentieth century, it became a private house, before being requisitioned during the 2nd WW. Its final incarnation was as a zoo in the sixties and seventies, but it has been uninhabited since then, with the interior preserved for charitable, scientific, literary, and educational purposes.
It is definitely worth a visit if you are in Tenby - just don't get caught out by the tides!
