A new visitor to our shores has featured in the news recently, so we decided to combine a business trip to beautiful Tenby to check him out.

The giant walrus, affectionately named Wally, thought to be from the Arctic, has been making himself at home on the lifeboat slipway at Tenby and proving a great pull to bring the visitors back to Tenby after the long lockdown!

We popped down to say ‘Hi’ to Wally, and he was suitable underwhelmed by all the attention he was getting, preferring to just keep chilling!

The lifeboat crew have to make some noise to get him to move when they have a shout and when they’ve got out of his, he just gets back on to keep sunbathing!

After a damaging year of lockdowns and restrictions, Tenby is doing well out of Wally. We popped into The Nook in Tenby, and found a plethora of lovely handmade Wally gifts, along with other beautiful handmade local items, plus slates and driftwood items from our very own Siani!
