Fishguard Old Harbour

Interestingly, Fishguard was the site of the 'Last Invasion of Britain', over 200 years ago. Four ships from France, originally aiming for Bristol, ended up in Llanwnda. There, local woman Jemima Nicholas rounded them up, putting a stop to the invasion. The cannons here are a reminder of a time when invasion by sea was a real possibility.

The estuary of the Afon Gwaun in Fishguard is a naturally formed old harbour. It's known as the lower town harbour and would have been the first area used commercially for fishing and trade.

A beautiful, level, circular walk that takes around two hours. Stunning views along the coast and to Fishguard Fort.

Goodwick beach is a mix of sand and lots of shingle. The beach is divided by wooden groynes and is backed by a sea wall. The breakwater stretching out into the harbour makes for a nice viewpoint further out into the water, and a nice flat walk. Views onto the Fishguard ferry terminal, and maybe the occasional cruise ship anchored up out to sea make for plenty of activity. Despite this, it's not uncommon to see dolphins in the harbour.

Fantastic views by Pwll Hir, overlooking the breakwater of the harbour. If you're heading North, the path forks here, to the right takes you to the point on Pen Anglas, left takes you along the coast path towards Carregwastad Point.
