Tenby Pedestrianisation
Tenby Pedestrianisation
Every Summer the centre of Tenby is mainly a vehicle-free zone.
The Walled Town is pedestrianised between 11am – 5.30pm each day from Monday 1st July to Friday 13th September.
The scheme will operate exactly as it has done in previous years with traffic movements restricted within the eastern, western and core zones of the Walled Town.
The way in which permit application forms are administered has changed and are now submitted on line. The link to apply for an Eastern, Western and Core permit can be found above and should completed and returned where the application will be administered and the relevant permit(s) issued and posted back approximately 7-10 days prior the scheme start.
Guidance notes explaining what is a ‘permitted journey’ and a scheme plan showing the three zones can also be found below.
Please note: If you are in possession of a Gold Harbour permit or a Silver Parking Permit for the resident parking schemes at Lower Frog Street, St Julians Terrace, Harbour Area or Paragon, there is no requirement to apply for an access permit as your permit is valid for entry into the Walled Town during scheme hours.
