Penally (Welsh: Penalun) is a coastal village and community 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west of Tenby in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The village is known for its Celtic Cross, Penally Abbey (a Gothic style country house), the neighbouring St. Deiniol's Well, WWI Practice trenches, and Penally Training Camp (World War I and World War II).
Archaeological investigations of nearby Hoyles Mouth Cave shows evidence of paleolithic and iron age use. Artifacts found there can be seen at Tenby Museum.
An electoral ward with the same name exists. This ward stretches towards Saundersfoot whilst avoiding Tenby. The total population of this ward at the 2011 census was 1,710.
The village is served by Penally railway station (a request stop, with stations towards Pembroke Dock to the west, Carmarthen and beyond to the east) and bus service 349.
The local parish church is dedicated to St Nicholas & St Teilo. It was originally called St Nicholas' but was changed at the end of the 19th century; it is suggested that Penally was the birthplace of St Teilo, a Christian leader in the 6th century. The church houses the Penally Celtic cross which was originally located in the graveyard but has since been restored and moved into the church.
The village has two pubs, The Cross Inn and The Paddock and a small shop.
Views overlook Tenby, Caldey Island, Giltar Point, and Tenby Golf Course, which runs alongside Tenby South Beach to the south of the village. Waymarked public footpaths allow people to walk through the links to the beach and to Tenby. Another golf course lies inland, on the outskirts of the village, at Trefloyne.
