Tenby, the beach

OWEN, Isambard

×

This is a view of Castle Beach in Tenby, one of the most popular beaches in Wales. This was painted by Isambard Owen, in the late 19th century. Tenby has changed a lot in that time, but the beach is still recognisable today - though it would be unusual to see it this empty on such a bright day!

Isambard Owen was born in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, and became an important figure in Welsh cultural life. His father was chief engineer of the Great Western Railway, responsible for building the South Wales Railway.
