The people who live in the most famous houses in Wales

The pastel-coloured houses towering above Tenby's harbour make up one of Wales' most famous views. Synonymous with the seaside town — which becomes a tourist honeypot in the summer — it's likely tens of thousands of people will have looked wistfully at those harbourside houses and imagined living there.

Stacked up like colourful toy bricks along Crackwell Street, the houses curve protectively down and around towards the harbour wall, the flat roofs and square edges lending an almost intimidating feel to the picturesque scene. On a sunny Saturday at the end of the Easter holidays, it's picture postcard perfect.

Tenby, in Pembrokeshire, symbolises everything about a summer holiday in Wales: golden beaches, plenty of pubs, gaudy sticks of rock and beach paraphernalia stacked up outside shop fronts. Plump seagulls venture daringly close with a beady eye on unattended chips and queues of holidaymakers wait patiently for trips across to Caldey Island.
