Some locations are special and unique, some properties are special and unique but when you combine the two you get a home that is incredible - a perfect partnership that can push the price tag up if it ever comes to the market. Most people would surely agree that Tenby is a special location, a pretty Pembrokeshire town nestled into the south coast of this popular county, teeming with amazing period properties and boasting three glorious sandy beaches and oodles of history - there's no surprise that it's a popular place to visit but to also call home. But in Tenby itself there are some locations that are prime spots and a small collection of roads that are ridiculously unique.
The most recognisable road is surely Norton that hugs the cliff-line, sweeping down then meandering down to the harbour - it's the road that holds centre spot for the most famous of Tenby photographs of the harbour.
