More about this scene
This settlement probably got its name from Andrew Wysmon, a tenant knight at the time of Edward II's reign. The large extension at the back of the inn (right) contained seven bedrooms with doors onto the beach. During the Second World War the beach was used by troops preparing for the D-Day landings, and Winston Churchill enjoyed a cup of tea at the inn.

A Selection of Memories from Saundersfoot
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Saundersfoot
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I spent every Summer in Saundersfoot from the age of 6 to 15!
My Uncle owned the garage at the bottom of the arches in Tenby, and I had great fun exploring.
I am trying to remember the name of a lovely little gift shop in The Strand, that no longer exists... think it began with a D..? It was on the right around a third of the way up.

The only South Beach I can think of, is in Tenby, there was a cinema there on the South beach, in which you had to walk on an elevated tunnel to reach the doors. Don't know when it was demolished, because I moved out of the area in 1965, hope this was some help.
Does any one remember the cinema on the South Beach by the Jubilee Park?
When I was a child, my grandparents had a static caravan on the 'Zealand' caravan park in Saundersfoot (now part of Scar Farm). We stayed there every school holiday and I have many lovely memories; many include a bag of chips and the steep walk up the hill beside the Hean Castle Pub. Saundersfoot feels like home to me and I hope to live there one day. It's lovely to see how it looked so many years ago.
